What Causes Chronic Knee Pain While Running And Swimming?
My knee has been bothering me for about 3 weeks. Started on a day where I swam my normal 1500m in a pool in the morning. in the evening I ran 3 miles. Felt a little annoyance in my knee after the run. Ever since, now I have pain when I run or swim. I do feel a pop in the knee when I climb steps as opposed to the other knee.

* I would like to get you evaluated clinically by your primary care attendant, who will provide you immediate pain relief with analgesic and further if required he or she may guide you need of x-ray or MRI of the knee region to look into the matter.
