I know previous people have posted similar threads about knee pains and how they had to get doctors notes...etc. My situation is a little different seeing that I don't have any 'real' medical problem, just sore knees once in a while. And of course, stupid me, when I did my medical exam and interview at the recruiting centre, I said I had no knee pains. I'm supposed to be starting my inf. phase training in 2005 after my BOTC this fall. I'm concerned because my knees will only hurt under extreme physical stress. To give you an example, I finished my jump course when I was 17. No problems whatsoever. It was only when I was 18-19 I first saw I had a bit of a problem. My brother and I went hiking in upper state NY. It was warm and humid, it was raining like it was the end of the world and I wasn't well equiped. Pretty much no rain gear, and I was wearing shorts t-shirt and running shoes. It was a 7 hour hike up and then we almost ran back down. Anyways, for the next week I had trouble even walking because my knees were hurting: white hot stabbing pain behind the knee cap inside the joint. I haven't felt anything like that since then and now I'm 26. I can go running and I nothing hurts. I'll get aching knees a few times a week now because of my job (standing all day and walking around). So...I guess what I'm looking for are people's experiences, opinions, what I'm in for, other people with the same problem...etc. I figure I'd ask here since I learned more in two days here than I did by myself in 9 months talking to people and researching on the net.
Thanks a lot guys,
