go to a physical therapist, /fit/ is not a replacement for medical advice

I guarantee your form is shit.

I guarantee you've been pressing off at the bottom with the balls of your feet instead of your heel.

Pressing off with the balls of your feet puts a hell of a lot of strain on your knee.

Focus on pushing with your heels and the pain will go away.

Have you had any sharp turns that led to a fall and subsequent loss of power from your leg? If not, it might not be a tear. I've torn ACLs and meniscus in the aforementioned manner. If your knee isn't showing any signs of instability you might be okay.

I had the same issue - back of knee pain. It turns out there was scar tisue and inflammation so they gave me corticosteroids.

Whatever you do make sure that shit is completely healed before even doing one more squat.

Lifting and gains are fun but if you fuck up your knee bad it can hurt forever. Imagine every step you take hurting.

Maybe. I'm a lanklet with flat feet so I do find myself putting more weight there if my feet position isn't perfect. Would arch support insoles help with that?

No falls, but when I first felt the pain, it was more noticeable when I twisted my leg the wrong way. It has felt a little weaker, at least compared to my other knee but I guess that could just be me favoring that knee to avoid pain

what shoes are you currently squatting with?

My right knee is also fucked, I don't know exactly what's wrong with it but I fucked it up BIG time when I was 15 in a fight with someone at school.

My knee buckled inwards resulting in nauseating pain for 5 minutes and enormous swelling and laying in bed for days. After the first time, it started doing it all the time. during sports, even when just running, there was a trampoline incident, a basket ball incident, a kickflip attempt incident... I must've tore it up over a dozen times.

Then I smartened up and avoided all the shit that made it fuck up and now its been years since I had it buckle on me. I can squat with no pain, I'm even skateboarding. It feels like it's healed but I don't know if that's even possible. I only get a bit of pain if I sit with my knees bent for too long.

Converse
Did I fall for the flat soles meme?
