Whenever I run it always seems to hurt just under my knees?

I've been playing tennis for four years so I've been running a lot on hard courts and such. Just recently, I've been having sharp pains just under my knees every now and then when I'm walking up the stairs or over to my next class. I know I should go see a doctor, but I want to know what might be the problem before I go make an appointment and scare the hell out of my mom.

    Could be Osgood-Schlatter disease. No big deal. hurts like crazy, but you grow out of it. Go see a doctor, wear knee bands under your knee cap and that will help.

  • I have had knee problems for years. so I know pain just tell her you need to have your knees checked that they hurt and just to be safe and make sure no real problem .I was told weight and normal routine wears away the cushion between the bones and joints.and starts arthritis

    sometimes the stuff that is in between your knee bones (not sure what it is called) is rubbed back and forth so much that it starts to wear off and it goes to the point to were those two bones touch and they start to rub together and it is wearing down your knee bones... in other words your bones are scrapping against each other!!! my mom has the same thing!

    i have the same problem, you probably have something called osgood slaters disease, its very common and usually not serious just annoying. look it up on the internet and see if that's it.
