I suffered something similar about 8 years ago. Went to the doc and he
prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs which nearly killed me. Gave those away
after just one tablet so then he suggested some simple but very effective
exercises which I still do today. I've had no knee pain for the whole time
since. I don't think it was my setup.
Exercises:
1. With upper leg at right angles to torso, slowly lift lower leg until
striaght (i.e. you whole leg should be sticking right out in front of you).
Hold for a few seconds then slowly lower your lower leg. Repeat at least 5
times. Switch to other leg.
2. With both feet on the floor, slowly lift one so that your lower leg is
at right angles and foot behind you (I'd hate to see if you could do this
one without your foot behind you!). Hold for a few seconds then lower.
Repeat 5 times. Switch to other leg.
Takes a couple of minutes and is not difficult or stressful. I think it
strenghtens some of the muscles around the knee.
