Having Extreme Pain In Knee After Doing 100m Sprint. Aches Only When Stand Or Sit Not While Running. Why Knee Is Aching And How To Treat It?
Hi, after doing a 100m sprint last week, I have been having this really horrible ache in my knee . It is primarly within the middle of the knee cap. I m curious as to what the ache is from and how to treat it. It is a dull ache that seems to stop when I run or jog but if I sit or stand, or just lie down, the ache returns. It hasn t increased in pain but it has started prohibting sleep and just relaxing.

Hi,
The most probable cause for this may be an injury to the pre-patellar bursa. It can be due to injuries to other bursa around the knee too.
Keep ice packs locally to the affected area for about 20 minutes twice daily for a few days.
You can take simple analgesics like Acetaminophen which is available over the counter twice daily after food.
Give adequate rest for 2 days. Do not exert yourself physically.
Get well soon.
