a couple months ago I went to physical therapy for my knees, because they hurt. They hurt in two places, ausgoood slaughter, and the side of my knee. The ausgoood slaughter is fine, but the side of my knee hurts alot whenever i begin to run, whether Im running for exercise, or for a sport, and I dont want to run through pain. The therapist told me to exercise my side hip muscles and stretch the muscle opposite the quad (below the quad). I am also doing ball squats for about 2-3 minutes, and after I finnish that its fairly hard to walk, idk if its because my quads hurt, or the exercise hurt my knee. I REALLY NEED HELP, im going to a sleep away soccer camp in about a month and a half, and I dont want my knees aching the whole time? Please… what should I do???

Your concern about this worrying symptom is understandable. It is possibly the result of weak or lax muscles and tendons forming the knee joint capsule.
If the problem is due to the joint capsule and the supporting muscles, a course of physiotherapy, particularly to strengthen the quadriceps muscles that form the front of the thigh, might prevent these episodes
