I have had knee issues, particularly my left since I was 20 and used to squat a bit too heavy and a bit too deep.
This pain would come and go depending on how much and how frequently I would squat.
A year and a half or so ago I ran BPC-157 and TB-500 and most of the knee pain subsided. Even the annoying clicking went away.
With my partial umbilical hernia I backed off squats and heavy rack pulls since late last year.
As such, I don't have much pain in the gym; when I squat it is smith only and relatively lightweight.
Consequently, no knee pain of significance in the gym.
However I continue to hurt my knee by simply walking.
I find that sometimes on a decline or if I trip up my left leg just a tiny bit, if feels as if my patella tendon overstretches, resulting in pain and instant inflammation.
This happened yesterday just walking and still hurts considerably.
Has anyone had similar experience?
My concern is this degenerative and something I have to live with as I am taking it easy yet still have trouble.
Any anecdotes or otherwise would be of interest.
