A couple of years ago I had been running and squatting a lot and my workout was very intense and a little premature for what my knee could handle.
Slowly the knee joint felt that it was getting tighter till it suddenly just completely broke out in pain, so I went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with runner's knee. A couple of months later and I got a lot better, but after that I haven't healed. My knee muscles/tendons feel tight and they hurt, mostly I can feel a dull pain but when I try to exercise it hurts even though I can still use them and perform the exercises. They also hurt when I sit in specific positions over longer time or when stand over longer time. It's been 2 years and I'm still hurting. It's a very irritated pain as if the nerves are irritated.
I went to the doctor again yesterday and I told him that I wanted a MRI scan of my knees to see what's causing the pain and he said that he knew what it was (runner's knee) and that there was no reason to check it out.
Now I'm a bit concerned, I'm not a doctor and neither are you, but I am sure that you can come up with some advices from experience. Is there anything the doctor can do to alleviate the pain, set me on a program or do anything at all? Because it feels unnecessary to just feel pain without doing anything about it...
