I started walking about 3 months ago and I'm walking 3 miles a day with no problem. I then started jogging a little, 200 yards walking and 200 yards slow jog. I did this for about 2 weks and I started noticing my knees started to ache. It then got worse until I could not hardly walk without pain. The pain was below the kneecap on the inside. My right knee pain went away before I seen a doctor. I went see a specialist and he took xrays and checked my knee. HE said I had bursitis in my left knee. He told me to take ibruprofin for 2 weeks. I took the ibruprofin and the pain was almost gone. The doctor also told me to continue to walk as long as it was on a flat surface. When I stopped the ibruprofin I was ok for a couple of days and the pain started again. Now the pain is different than before. The pain now is on the inside of the knee and the back of my knee hurts a little, also just above and below my kneecap gets a little sore. I can stop walking and my knee feels better. I go take a walk and my knee starts feeling better as I walk and when I quit and rest the pain gets worse. When I get off the computer writing this message it will take me a while to get my knee going. My knee feels like its stiff and the pain is bad on the inside until I can stretch it out.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Alvin
