my knees are painful from track

I’m in track so apparently I run a lot an a few minutes after I run I get pains in my knees. the pains are right below each knee and it hurts to walk…I try to go to the doctor for it but I have no idea what to do about I’ve tried the braces and it just made it worse. I’m 13 years old, …is that normal?

Answer #1

I used to get those too… and I wasn’t athletic at all. the doctor called them growing pains. It might not be the same thing though, so please see your own family doctor.

Answer #2

go to your doctor I have the sameproblem only I’ve been told I have tendonitis, and this too 6 months to work out with mri scans and weeks off school!!! if you dont gt help from your doctor it could gt worse but it would be better to know if it was just growing pains for tendonitis like me

Answer #3

I am a physician, and what I’m about to say should only be taken as a suggestion. If you are still concerned after my answer, please see your primary care physician.

Many young teens experience these types of pains everyday. When you engage in physical activity while your body is still growing, your muscles adjust by expanding and retracting, causing a soreness we like to call growing pains. There is nothing to prevent these, as it is a stage of puberty.

Hope this helped!
