I have pain on the outside of my knee when I run what could it be?

I ran a marathon two years ago and was gearing up for one last year did 3 20 mile runs and gave up in November because the Tigers made the playoffs and I was more concerend with them. I ran sparatically on the treadmill over the winter 6 miles at a time. I then began to run in the spring after taking significant time off. I run at the park on an asphalt trail that I have been training on for the past couple of years. I bought the same exact shoes I wore last year and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. When I began running I was runing 8miles 4miles 8miles for 3 weeks before the pain in my knee. Not it is bothersome and I can run throught it somedays but others it becomes so unbearable I don't even bother running on it. Ususally it doesn't hurt the day after a run but sometimes it does. I have no idea what it is. Some say it could be a strained IT Band but I have been stretching it and it still doesn't seem to work. What do u think it is? What should I do

With your knee slightly bent, try to wiggle your knee cap with your fingers. If it wiggles alot or hurts, get to MD you have torn a ligament. If it moves slightly and doesn't hurt you have a strain give it break for a few days and start back slower ( 1 or 2 miles)
Reply:Could be tendonitis. You need your legs to get around. You should see a doctor as soon as you can for x-rays at the least.
