Quads Weak / Knee Hurts

Thanks everyone. My PT has been doing some trigger point massage on my quad. So far it hasn't gotten any better. Runner's knee - supposedly. I've been off of it for over 2 months now but it doesn't seem like it is getting any better. He told me to go see a sports doc for another diagnosis. He also told me to do some hip abductor exercises for the next 6 weeks or so. I can't seem to locate any sensitive areas in the quad myself but when the PT does massage it, he can seem to find a few. Not sure what to do anymore. I just want to get back into being active!

Quads Weak / Knee Hurts

Hi There,

I realized that my left quad is significantly weak compared to my right knee which may be the cause of my knee pain in my left knee. I've been given some quad strengthening exercises but when I actually try to do the strengthening exercises, my knee hurts! I think my quad is very very weak and can barely the exercises. Seems like a circular issue. Quads weak, therefore knee hurts, but quad exercises hurt knee. So, should I still try to do the exercises even though they hurt my knees?

Some of the exercises have been leg lifts which seem ok. But the squats hurt quite a bit.

How do I strenghten my quads when it hurts my knees?
