If your knee hurts at young age - Runner's Knee

Symptoms of runner's knee are:

Pain behind or around the kneecap, especially where the thighbone and the kneecap meet
Pain when you bend the knee -- when walking, squatting, kneeling, running, or even rising from a chair
Pain that's worse when walking downstairs or downhill
Swelling
Popping or grinding sensations in the knee

Treatment for Runner's Knee?

Regardless of the cause, the good news is that minor to moderate cases of runner's knee should resolve on their own given time and treatments that address any underlying causes. To speed the recovery you can:

Rest the knee. As much as possible, try to avoid putting weight on your knee.
Ice your knee to reduce pain and swelling. Do it for 20-30 minutes every 3-4 hours for 2-3 days, or until the pain is gone.
Compress your knee. Use an elastic bandage, patellar straps, or sleeves to give your knee extra support.
Elevate your knee on a pillow when you're sitting or lying down.
Practice stretching and strengthening exercises . Ask your doctor to recommend a physical therapist for guidance.
Try arch supports or orthotics for your shoes. Orthotics -- which can be custom-made or bought off the shelf -- may help with foot position. more
