I was fine until I visited Simla this year. I ran down some steep mountainous roads and after returning i started feeling pain in my left knee. Now I can not climb stairs fast i sense a cracking sound and mild pain when I climb stairs. What may be the problem.

It might be due to patellar maltracking. Do VMO exercises

• 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.
