Solution for knee pain during leg extension exercise?How come whenever i use the leg extension weight machine, i get a small pain in my left knee. Its only at a certain angle, about 80 degrees. This happens even on the lowest weights. My legs are not tired and im not straining, but when i get to that certain angle, i feel that pain in my left knee. What is it from? What can i do about it?

Yer one knee just might be a lil weaker than the other one....maybe if it bothers you that much, u can see a doctor and get an opinion from him, but first I'd try an over the counter pain medication.
Advil, tylenol, ibuprofen....those should work.

It sounds like Chondromalacia Patella, which is basically a pain in the kneecap caused by a lack of cartilage. It's pretty common amongst young people - about 1 in 3 get it at some point. Apparently it will disappear on its own. If it's bothering you, you can try more leg-strengthening exercises to build up muscle and protect the cartilage. If the pain is severe, see your doctor and get some pain killers. But usally it is pretty harmless. I get this sometimes too, when I run, but it's been better lately.
