So I've been at this for...oh, a month and a half or so. And I've noticed that the tops of my knees (kinda at the top/behind my kneecap) are slightly achey. I'm not in pain, they don't hurt, they're not sore, just....a slight ache, especially when they are bent (I have a propensity for sitting indian style. Has anyone else experienced this/have any advice?

    Yeah, everyday and even more so after I work out. For me its old injuries and old age...

    I wouldn't worry too much if its just an ache. Probably just normal muscular soreness.

    I would encourage not to sit indian style if that makes it worse. Easier said than done.

    But pay attention to your body and if it gets a lot worse you may need to be more careful with your work-outs-i.e- good stretching and making sure you are using good form and keeping your body in good alignment.

    Have you nticed any inflamation in your knees? What type of exercises are you doing? I would do some low impact exercises until your knees feel better. Try some Ibuprofen and see if it helps any.

    you sound exactly like me. Been at this about 2 mos now and my knee pain is pretty consitant, running is a struggle i can only go so long and the pain makes me stop. I also have a bad habit of sitting indian style i have no idea why i just ALWAYS have sat that way and its always been comfortble, i dont even realize i do it. i think years of it has ruined my knees. im seeing a doc on thursday to hopefully find out more and start figure out how to make it better.
