What might my knee stiffness/slight pain be and should I see a doctor?For the past few weeks I've had slight knee pain accompanied by a stiff/tight feeling. I'm almost positive that it came from me doing high-impact, intense workouts (such as jumping jacks and squat jumps) on the concrete floor in my basement. I haven't worked out since and it's still there. It's mostly in my left knee, though it's there a bit in my right one. I've tried heating it and taking Ibuprofen to see if that would help, but nothing seems to be getting rid of it completely. It's not a really profound pain most of the time, but it does tend to get very stiff and tight.
Not sure if my age matters, but I'm 24 and pretty physically fit. My question is; what might my problem be and should I just continue to rest it or go in and see a doctor? I'd like to get back to exercising (I bought some rubber, padded matting now for the basement), but I feel it would still be uncomfortable to do so and more importantly, I don't want to damage anything more.
