Sore Kneecaps

sonnky

Howye,

Im 15 and I'm having knee pains for the last week. We had a match last friday and afterwards I could hardly walk, was very stiff. Next day I was playin indoor soccer and in the last game i just lost all power in the knees and couldn't kick the ball without massive pain.

Rested up for a few days ,haven't ran, and it's improved slightly but still some pain while walk. Climbing stairs is sore as well! Anyone have any advice/diagnosis? It's just at the bottom of the kneecap above the shin. Also should I go to a physio or doctor.

Thanks in advance.

But as said get it checked out by a physio or doctor.

Yeah that sprang to mind too. You'll need a doctor OP.

Go to a physio, I'd highly recommend Tadhg in Pearse Street Physio

I had the same symptoms, was all related to weak / overworked quads.

We can't diagnose you here - go to the physio!
