Left Knee Pain
I am 21 years old with healthy physique and doing gym regularly. I have been having pain in my left knee from 4-5 months now which has increased now. The knee makes friction sound and the pain increases while standing up after sitting for long time making it difficult to stand up and keep the leg straight at first.

Avoid sitting Cross legged.
Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area
