Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a knee "issue" I've been having lately -- although the "issue" is most noticeable when I try to use the leg-lift weight machine at the gym. Basically, when I bend my knees to lift the bar, my left knee starts hurting at a certain angle. Running is fine once I warm up, and there's no real, "call-it-off" pain during a run -- just a general "iffy-ness" to the knee.
The only issue I've had in the past is ITBS in both legs due to overtraining, and I've overcome it a couple of times (although it's *always* lurking out there for me). I'm certain the two are related. Plus I've not been as faithful to stretch in the last couple months, and that's when this deal started getting more noticeable.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
Joe
