Knee pain after exercise
Hello, I did some light exercises (for around 30 mins) including sit ups over the weekend and from 2 days I am now having knee pain which worsens whenever I bend my knee. Usually I don't do that much exercises, rather I walk for 30-40 mins in the morning, so not sure if this because of that. I applied volini but the pain is still there.
Can someone suggest what can I do for this pain?
