    Re: Strange bilateral inner knee pain only when standing

    Are your vastus medialis, hamstrings, and calves tight/shortened/knotted? It's really amazing how muscle issues can cause a lot of mystifying pain. Trigger Point and Referred Pain Guide and Vastus Med Trigger Point Diagram

    Sound a bit like a tendinopathy at the common insertion for medial hamstrings, gracillis and sartorius. If you are referring to the medial aspect of the poximal tibia I'd look at these muscles and see which one is the tightest/most TOP.

    Re: Strange bilateral inner knee pain only when standing

    For tendon pain/attachment issues, I don't like to stress the structures by starting off with stretching. I like foam rolling, because you can get that release of muscle without aggravating the attachments. Most fitness supply and running stores carry foam rollers. You can also order them online. Or you can make a PVC one, with yoga mat glued on to pad it.

    Here's a webpage with vid of a foam roller lower extremity routine. Lower body foam roller routine | Combat Sports Clinic
