What's causing this knee pain and what can I do about it?

I'm only 15, I kneel a lot at my desk 'cause my desk is too low, I'm not overweight and I'm also not really a runner. However when I do start to run, after about 3 minutes in my knee starts to hurt, my knee feels like its twisting a bit. Is my kneeling the source of problem and what can I do about this pain?

1. maybe you have athoritis

2. It's Probably your shoes!!! look at the bottom of an old pair of shoes(sneakers) and see if one side is more worn out then the other. Or you can speed walk on the treadmill and have somebody behind you that can see if you pronate to one side or the other. If you do then you need to go to a specialty running store and get a good pair of shoes. If not then tou can still go to the running store (not dunhams, dicks, footlocker or anything like that! its a store just for running) and find shoes that are really comforting that will support your legs. Although Nike looks cool they are probably the worse shoes especially for people with knee or ankle problems or runners, so try and stay away from them. They make good sport shoes and cleats, but as support they suck. hope that helped a little

3. Have you been to a doctor over this? Maybe you should try stretching every morning when you wake up and before you go to bed.

4. Your knee pain sounds like it is due to the twist your talking about. - Listen, I am not a doctor, but I have written 300 articles on knee braces and knee pain... Anyhow, I know this is about you, and not the number of articles I have written....

Sometimes, all it takes is for your foot to be planted on the ground and a twist of the knee at an increasing velocity can hurt one or more of your ligaments. - This can be complicated when an individual is overweight as well.

Your doctor needs to examine you and tell you what your knee pain really is, but this information might help.

To help promote healing and to reduce your knee pain you might want to look into a knee brace. If not, then that is your choice.

All the best to you, and I am sorry your knee is bother you.
