[pct-l] knee pain

[betseylou at mac.com (Elizabeth)]

Hi list,

I just returned from a five day "pretraining" hike on the AT through 
the Shenandoah NP. While I was on the trail, I started to notice a pain 
on the outside of my left knee whenever I was going downhill. Towards 
the end of the hike it was pretty bad, stiff and sort of a shooting 
pain when pressure was applied. Has anyone had this problem, and do you 
have any stretches or suggestions for ways to avoid this in the future?


Never had a knee problem before and pissed off,
