Any imbalance can contribute to pain, so if you are working ad/abductors and not quads/hams, you could be contributing. Also, stair running can be incredibly hard on the knees if done improperly, I wouldn't recommend it unless you need it for a specific purpose, and general fitness doesn't count. :p | |

I mentioned in my comment to the other answer that I had an inkling my stretching regime was helping, but it was not conclusive. Also, when the problem first began 12 years ago, I hardly stretched at all, and it occurred a bit more frequently back then. So again I assumed that my stretching may have been helping. But I am well aware of "assumption being the mother of all f***ups" so I'll certainly take heed of what you have said. I also wonder if you saw my other comment about my leg strength and had anything to say about that ? | |
