He's BACK Member 177, 1039 posts SQ 230, BP 155, DL 300685.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | My right knee has been bothering me for about 18 months now, it started as a slight niggle. It has slowly but surely got worse, and squatting seems to set it off, although getting out of a chair or going up/down the stairs is now enough for it to flare up. And the other day I jumped over a gate and it is now quite painful. There is no visible swelling. I have tried taking aspirin, I take cod liver oil and glucosamine in fairly high doses, but nothing seems to work. Im going to book up a doctors appointment (down here it takes about 2 weeks) but I wondered if anyone here has or has had a similar experience, and if so what did you/ do you do to remedy it? Im panicking as I have the British champs in a few weeks and next week is my heavyiest squat session before the comp. Any suggestions? | ||

 still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq | I was having a similar problem to you, and I did the jumping over a gate thing as well which f**ked me up proper. Didn't really get it checked up or nothing. I just took 6 months off training and my knees were as good as new again! Don't think that is what you want to hear though  | ||

One of the problems powerlifters have can be an imbalance of muscle development such as the quads being much stronger than hamstrings or different quad groups being under developed. A couple of physio sessions is a small cost compared to gym fees or supplements. | ||

Things should be nipped in the bud not left to fester for months, things rarely go right on their own. You are an intelligent and talented man. LEARN FROM THIS | ||

He's BACK Member 177, 1039 posts SQ 230, BP 155, DL 300685.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Cheers Icepick and Bryn. Tony, jumping over gates/fences etc has been a habit of mine for years! Sounds stupid I know. Pete, I know I should have nipped it in the bud long ago. I have made a mistake ignoring it and will learn for the future. I will bear all this advice in mind, thanks guys  | ||
