Yet another knee pain thread

15 years old and having pains can also come down to growing pains. (sorry if its been mentioned...i havnt taken the time to read through everything.)

You still have another 5 years or so of growing and at around age 15 you go through a fairly large growth spurt. This combined with overextension of your knee or a slight strain on your knee could be the cause of all the pain.

Just something else to think about.

Hi, i started playing badminton again recently after stopping nearly 2 years due to knee injury. My knee pain is gone for now but i am just wondering whether by wearing knee bands or braces will be appropriate to prevent knee pain again. Which is better recommended? bands or braces?

Whatever u do, chose something which will NOT press yr knee cap onto the knee head of the femur. The knee band has to have a hole in it to leave the cap free, while keeping everything together.

I wanted to ask, whether it was in this thread or the other, that PRP was mentioned (Platelet Rich Plasma). I read a lot about it. Has anyone done the treatment. Any results, ideas, opinions are welcome as I got an appointment to go for treatment. Before I go I'd like to hv a few tips. Thnx
