What causes knee pain while running and climbing stairs?
Patient: My knee started popping everytime I move about a week ago. It pops when I stand up, walk up stairs, or ride a bicycle. I had twin boys in November so I recently started running to tone up but had to stop due to my knees hurting. I am just wondering if this is normal or may be some sort of problem. Doctor: Hello,  As this is happening due to the weakness of the muscles of the knee. Doing knee stability exercises will help avoid such situations to occur again. A properly guided exercise like - core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, static hamstring, static Quadriceps and straight leg raise will help regain the muscle strength.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
