I have been running a lot for 2 months, about 42 mins per session, 5 days per week. Recently, I have been feeling pain in my left knee sometimes. I probably should stop running now.
Any advices about how to rehab/recover my knee?

4You may want to start by taking a look at these answers about preventing joint pain/damage when running. As for rehab, you'll need to give more information. – BackInShapeBuddy Apr 9 '12 at 19:03

Where on the knee is the pain? Does it hurt only while moving the knee? Does it hurt when you're not running? Does it hurt walking up/down stairs? – user3085 Apr 9 '12 at 22:18

2Squats, squats, and more squats. By an large the best exercise I know of (when using proper form) to rehab/recover the knee(s). – Moses Apr 9 '12 at 23:56

What is your running technique? Are you landing on the mid/forefoot or are you heelstriking? – Robin Ashe Jul 9 '12 at 7:21

1FYI, I visited a doctor, also took MRI, result is OK. After resting for about 3 months. Knee feels all right now. Could because of lack of resting on knee, ran too frequently. – gilzero Jul 25 '12 at 3:12
You should start swimming. I had runners knee for a while and my doctor recommended I swim because there is no impact.
