Hi,
I am 22 years old. I am suffering from pain in my upper knee and lower thigh where the muscle meets the knee. Sharp pain shoots to the area every time I try to stand up. I can not do squats or even knee extensions because the pain will not allow me to. I have had the pain since the end of my volleyball season. The pain started in the beginning of April and season ended on the 14th of that month. I can not sit down for more than 20 minutes without having to stretch them out. There really is no pain while I'm walking, however if I were to run the pain is excruciating. There is no swelling of the knee although at times it feels extremely hot. We are now entering June and the pain is just as bad as it was back in April. It has been over a month and half and the pain will not subside. I would love to jump back into my lower body work-outs but the pain prevents me from even squatting my own body weight. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on and when it will go away as well as possible rehab exercises?

Thank you
