okay, before a few months ago i had a problem that whenever i bent my knee putting pressure on it (like bending down to pick something up or squatting) some bone in my knee (no the knee cap) will feel like it got out of place (and it hurts) but when that happened, i stretched out my leg and it will pop right back in.
it stopped happening for a while
(i use to run and exercise everyday)
now i havent exercised in like 2 or 3 weeks, and i just started running again today, and i feel that same pain again.
could it be a tendon problem? or do i just need to get used to exercising my legs again or what?
im 18 5’9 i weigh about 160
a lot of that weight is muscle, i have a “little” fat but im in good shape
now that school is out i dont lift weights anymore and i dont have money for gym
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE MILITARY YOU SAY?
i joined the marine corps (infantry), and i go to boot camp in like 50 days….
im not in any pain, im just saying, its weird.
i wont have any problems in boot camp
dont worry about me
AND I CAN WALK AND RUN PERFECTLY FINE, EVEN WITH WEIGHT ON MY BACK.
its just when i bend my knee with a lot of pressure
obviously the people giving mr151 thumbs up isnt reading what i said

I foresee a medical discharge for you.
If you’re in pain now, then just wait until you have some weight on your back and have to walk for mile after mile.
YOU MUST GO AND SEE A DOCTOR AT ONCE !!!
It sounds like Osgood-Schlatter disease, I had it when I was 17. It’s a tendon problem common in teenage males, caused by a growth spurt. Do you have a little, tender bump just below the knee? What I was told to do was aspirin for the pain, knee pads for sports, it goes away, but the bump stays for life, there is a surgery for it, but not worth the money except for extreme cases.
Oh, and I joined the army at seventeen, it wasn’t a problem. Have a doctor check it out anyway.
Many people who exercise regularly are healthy and do not see themselves as high risk for disease as unhealthy, inactive people, but an injury can be quite damaging. And I warn you, these injuries can be very serious at times. They do not have to, however. All you really have to do is allow your body the proper time to heal and prevent from re-injuring it.
From personal experience and professional experience, when you go for sometime without working out, your chances for an injury increases. During this time, running especially and exercise, are tough on the musculoskeletal system. The injury itself is not the biggest problem. It is jumping back up; re- injuring your body that does the harm. Therefore, be sure to take it easy.
For example, when I felt an injury to my knee from jogging, I hop on the exercise bike. In this way, you can still get your cardio in, plus build your legs and over all conditioning. Speaking of over all conditioning, tendinitis, one of the most common sports injuries, is contributed to poor muscle tone of certain muscles in the leg, e.g. shin, calves, and hamstrings. So, you should continue your workout routine, but find exercises that will be less strenuous to you.
Once your feel your injury is well enough to workout with, you must keep in mind that you are not completely out of the woods. In a sense, once you are injured you are always injured. Secondly, the injury can be easily re-injured. So, when you sense the pain coming, stop what you are doing. Take these injuries serious. Professional atheletes know the consequense of an injury. Many choose or have the option of using steroids to save time from being off the bench. Off the bench means off the clock. So, reing hurt is not like sitting around, smoking, and drinking catching heart disease, but they can be equally debilitating.
Again, let yourself heal adequately. It sounds like you just have a build up of fulid in the knee. This can be surgically removed with a needle. So, you don’t want that fluid to sit on the knee too long. If it does, it could cause you problems later on. But by you being military, you may have your health expenses covered. Maybe you should seek advice from your recruiting officer.
Hope this answers your question!
i will bet dollars to donuts when you get to basic and this pops up (and it will), you are going to be facing the business end of a fraudulant enlistment.
