Medical Conditions - Runner S Knee

Runner’s knee, also known as the patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a condition characterized by constant and dull pain around the front part of the knee. The symptoms include rubbing, grinding, and clicking sounds of the knee cap. It is prevalent amongst runners, and it is caused by a certain way of running or walking (running at inclines), and it can also be due to structural defects of the knees.

I am not able to run or squat with my left knee. Why?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your concern. In my opinion, you might have some patellofemoral issue that is the pain caused due to rubbing of patella bone against the underlying femur bone.
