Quad strength
Hi Judy.........this is now about two weeks since I stopped doing the quad exercise where I lift 5 lbs and I must admit the knee cap is feeling much better.

Pain under the Knee Cap
Thanks Jo....I have. It really annoys me that they tell you --you can do this and when it hurts they still have you doing it. But on Wed.
