Answers:
It sounds like runners knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrom. This is a tough injury to treat because every time you run it gets irritated again. However taking breaks when it hurts, icing it, and using a brace all help. Look into buying a brace. If you went to the doctor thats probably what they would tell you. If you want a good brace that will last, look at some of these. http://www.braceshop.com/productcart/pc/… But if your on a tight budget, just go to your nearest drug store like kroger, target, walmart, walgreens, or cvs. Look for either a brace with a hole around the kneecap, or look for a thin strap type brace. Its great for runners knee and it goes underneath your kneecap to take pressure off of it and make it feel better.
