Re: Stretching

You're just unfit, keep doing it, excercise. I had a knee problem, I would complain that my right knee hurts when I run, but the more I excercised, the less my aches and pains became.

Re: Stretching

Very true. Last summer, I damaged some tissue/ligament in my knee cause I was overdoing it at the gym. It would swell up badly at any given time, especially if I over used it. I just continued exercising and stretching and eventually it went away. I have no aches or pains now in my knee.

Sara, just keep stretching your leg. Don’t force your leg to go into any painful position, but do continue to stretch your leg muscles. Do different types of stretches or a pilates/yoga class which also is good for stretching.
