Question
QUESTION: About 5 days ago I started getting pain on my left knee area.  It is not the knee cap but about a half inch below the knee cap and about a quarter inch to half inch towards the outside of the knee.  My knee started feeling weird when I was walking 3 days ago and it almost seems like it is a light clicking or popping sound when I walk.  My knee hurts when I get up from sitting down on a chair and really hurts when I walk up and down stairs.

I figured it would go away after a few days but has not gotten better.  

Do you have any idea what this could be?

ANSWER: Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear about the knee pain, but I do think I can provide some effective techniques
that you can do yourself to get rid of your knee pain.

I'm going to send you to my completely free Do-It-Yourself-Joint-Pain-Relief website,
http://www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com/
The website has free follow-along videos with joint pain relief techniques for every joint in the body, and I think you can probably fix yourself.

If you take a moment and think of all the muscles in your body like the rigging (ropes) on a big old-fashioned sailboat, you can begin to understand that all the tension in all the muscles must balance off each other for us to stand, sit, walk, run, etc. in the way our body is designed to do so. And because bones are basically chunks of calcium that are incapable of moving on their own, it is the muscles and soft-tissue that pull or hold bones in place.  Thus, it is inappropriately tight soft-tissue that negatively affecting your body.

The vast majority of chronic structural pain in a body is caused by the shortening and tightening of tissue around joints.  In your case,  it is probably the muscles in your thighs that are tight and pulling on your knee joint and causing the pain where you feel it.

I do hope this proves helpful.

All the best,

QUESTION: Gary,

    My thighs feel very loose and I cant feel any tightness at all the area.  my whole leg muscules feel very loose, so I can't seem to figure out what the problem is with my knee.

Answer
Hi Mark,

Perhaps it's the muscle on the front of your shin that you are describing.
I'm referring to the tibialis anterior muscle,
