Hey guys, Ive had this on/off issue with my knees for some time now. The pain feels like I have a little pebble stuck under my knee cap and when I bend down 90 degree or more it hurts. I can walk around with no problem at all but as soon as I bend my legs I feel the pain. Every time I go to the gym I some cardio and stretching to warm up, then some leg extensions. So far no pain. When I hit usually machine squats or hack squats thats when I feel the pebble like pain. The upper half of the movement Im ok but when I go down to 90 or more it hurts a lot. Oddly enough I used to get it when I would do squats as well but if I do a set of leg extensions right before a set of squats, then no problem. Also sometimes when I feel the pain, I stop the exercise but if I wait 10-15 mins sometimes I back to 100%. I actually feel if I rub my knees with my hands, massage, between sets in help a little too. Any idea what it could be, tendonitis? It annoys the hell out of me because my legs are my weak point and I always go through these phases of weeks where I just can't do legs. My legs are really not strong so its not like Im doing 400lbs, I don't even do 225 for squats. I do do them ass to grass. Any idea what it could be and how to maybe remove the stress from the knees?
