Has anyone on here hurt their knees while running? I had never had problems until recently (when i started running again) and its not like painful, but when i straighten it out, i can feel it "clicking" on the inside and its disconforting. How did u handle it? im training for a 1/2 marathon so givin up is not my top choice :ohwell: and now i can feel it when i walk

    Go see a doctor. Knees are not worth mesing with.

    Both my knees click/crack when kneeling and my right gives way sometimes which is a pain.

    Doctor advised building up the lower leg muscles to compensate for the tendons & cartilige deteriorating. Sit down foot parallel (straight) lift leg to feel it pulling.

    Unfortunatly this precludes me from impact exercise like running as it is just to darned painful, So have got back into cycling which I find fairly pain free & gives a all round exercise out in the fresh air.

    two things:

    1) Many knee issues are caused by the Quads not being strong enough to keep them stable. Squats, leg press machine, STRENGTHEN your legs in general.

    2) Glucosamine/Chondroiton supplements.... something like Osteo Bi-Flex. I cannot run without it.
