Agreed.. before you ruin something for good... go see a doctor or get some sort of medical advice. The pain could be caused by a few things. Get advice from a professional

also bro think about taking a Glucosamine Chondroitin and msm supplement....

They work WONDERS with joint pain and aren't too pricey either if you shop around.... Ive had ACL/meniscus surgery and shoulder surgery most recently...and I swear by it!!! feel better now than I ever did before....got my dad on it about a year ago (for his job at UPS...and just everyday aches) and he claims its a miracle supplement also...check it out....hear nothing but praises!!!!!

Hope this helps!!
Happy training...

I heard that from a lot of people and I've been taking that for like 2-3 months and it didn't really do anything, the weird thing is the knee that hurts is not the one i had surgery on

From talking to people about them it is it either seems to help or does absolutely nothing. I take Glucosamine and I think it helps. When taking it I don't feel a difference until I don't take it for awhile.

I had the same thing happen with my knees.......surgery on right....then came the pain in the left......

Its do to the fact that you sort of "baby" the knee you had surgery on and that your "healthy" leg has been bearing all the weight to make up for putting full force on the torn knee.........Ive been told that even when you have pretty much completely healed....your brain has made new connections already to favor the non-surgery joint......which in time will mess up your good side...

just try to consciously even out your weight distribution when standing around n' stuff........like I stand around at work a lot and I'll notice Im favoring my "good" side from habit....I'll just make myself stop leaning that way and center it out....

after awhile you wont have to think about it anymore and the aches will slowly go away.......(at least they did in my experience)...

If you're already having joint problems after 18 months in areas with no previous injuries, you've simply been training too hard or just improperly. It takes time for your ligaments and tendons to get strong enough to handle intense training. Ease off on volume, intensity, weight, and increase your rep ranges to 10-12. There are also joint support supplements you can get, but I can't recommend any off the top of my head.
