I was squatting two weeks back when I felt a slight pain in my left knee under the knee cap.I have always done 15 reps with one plate each side to get the blood flowing .Then we add one plate per set up to 4 plates.My knee started to pain on the second set ,two plates per side.This is light weight so I continued adding the plates.The pain stayed the same,not to bad.Well the following week when I started my first set I dropped staight to the floor.The problem is the knee feels fine until I try and straighten my leg.Then the pain is so bad I had tears in my eyes.Now I can`t squat ,dead lift ,bend over rows ,cable rows even lifting dumbbells off the rack if a fucking test of my pain threshhold.The doc says just give the gym a break for 6 weeks,but we all know that is not an option.What should I do ? Would strapping my knee help?Maybe some painkillers would help me train?
