Knee Cap Problems

[dhsalex]

I am 14 years old and I have a pain in my knee cap and its only on my right knee and I think its associated with table tennis. I've been playing for two years. Does anyone know what it can be because I've got important tournament next week and need to well. Thanks in advance

I too have the same problem. The pain occurs only when bending your legs for ex., doing a drive or squat. From the way i see it, we will have to strengthen our calves and quads muscle so that pressure on the knee cap gets reduced...

Really annoying though

Tell your parents and see a doctor.
