Knee pain and muscle twitches...?
So about three weeks ago I was playing basketball, jumped for a shot and heard my knee crack a little. It didn't really bother me right after the fact, but ever since then my knee has been hurting after I run. Lately it has really been hurting. Could it be ITBS? How should I treat it? Also, The muscle right above my knee, my quad, has been twitching. Is it connected? Thanks!
