Knee Pain

[CCA_Nicole]

lately i have been having bad knee pain in my right knee. i have weak ankles and my physical therapist said my right knee is starting to turn inward. i have been cheering for 7 years and my knee just strting hurting about 2 weeks ago. it sometimes hurts when walking up/down stairs. it hurts after cheer or any exercise. sometimes it even hurts when i bend over. i'm not sure what i need to do but i dont wanna see a doctor because im scared they will take me out of cheer. anybody else ever had this problem?? do i need a knee brace or something?? any advice will be helpful!!

Based on what you have described and that a medical professional has already offered some diagnosis I would forgo asking us on the boards and seek further medical advice to avoid potentially bigger problems by trying to treat this your self. A fix could be as simple as strengthening specific leg muscles. Your health is more important than cheer.

Good luck with it.
