knee pain

[AndyK5]

That could be an injury to the connective tissue that connects the muscle that sits right on top of your shin, to your knee. To test it, sit on a chair with your feet on the floor, then lift your leg and put the outside of your ankle on top of your opposite knee. This is a common sitting position for many people anyways. Now if it hurts during that or if you apply a bit pressure on the knee to stretch that tissue than thats probably the reason. If thats the case it is no big deal, ice rest a bit couple months it will heal by it self. I hurt mine during rolling 3 months ago and just about now pain is lowered down to 1-2 scale while i am stretching that muscle.

I tried the test and it doesnt hurt. Its only hurts when I walk so I guess maybe it is ITB

The ITB actually inserts just BELOW the knee so it is definitely possible that it is the culprit... in any event stretching the ITB/tensor fasciae latae would help regardless. Also I would consider switching up your cardio to including biking, swimming, and of course rolling.

Rick you should write about why jiu jitsu guys have back pain like you were telling me last month. That was interesting stuff.
