Hi everyone, I posted this on the regular threads and my only response was to stop trying to do it...not so helpful :ohwell: figured I'd try in here where maybe it's a little more relevant :flowerforyou:

I have been doing a lot of post-workout stretching to try and increase my flexibility. I'd love to be able to do the splits but I certainly still have quite a ways to go. My question is this: Whenever I try to stretch into side splits/box splits, I get really intense knee pain on the inner surface of my knees - sometimes just one side and sometimes both. Even if I bring my legs closer together and just hold it longer I get this pain. Has anyone experienced this? Does anybody have any suggestions that may help me out? It would be much appreciated Thanks!
