I’ve had pain in both knees for years now even with sleeves. I’ve tried every kind of knee sleeve there is and icy hot cream, warming it up, etc. I’ve always just worked around it.
Smith machine Squats, leg press, smith machine Bulgarian squat, etc
It’s a sharp pain in my knees as I squat down and bend. The lower I go, the sharper the pain. Maybe a year ago I had my regular dr ultrasound it and he said micro tears or patellar tendinitis. I tried one PRP session that didn’t help.
I think I might finally just get an mri and see what’s really going on as it has really limited my leg growth specifically my quads. Hamstrings I can do SLDL’s, curls, etc but not being able to squat low sucks. Hack squats are out of question.
Even leg presses I switched up my technique and went deeper the correct way and that hurt bad which has led me to where I am now with this.
Not looking for a diagnosis, just curious if any guys have had anything similar and what was your diagnosis or results.
