So i Have not run in 2 weeks because of knee pain. The pain has subsided so I decided to run today when I noticed I had been favoring the knee that hurt because It hurts if I try to extend it past 90%

No swelling
No pain to the touch
no pain biking


it just seems to not want to straighten all the way, Any Ideas??

I have an ortho appointment in 2 weeks, just looking for ideas

I'm confused. Will it not straighten all the way, or are you not letting it straighten (either because of pain, or the fear of)? I am almost certain it is the latter. My advice is let it hurt a couple of times. You will keep holding it back until you push it past your imposed limit.

edit: The mind can be detrimentally powerful.

Did something happen such as trauma or did you wake up one morning and find that you can no longer straighten your leg?

I hadn't run on it because it felt like I pulled something after a long run.

2 weeks later I feel 90% minus the fact the it hurts when I try to straighten it out

Where do you feel like you pulled something..what part of your body? Where was/is your pain? Front of the knee, back, outside/inside etc etc. And as asked before, is it pain limiting you front straightening your knee or hesitation?

Only the pain is limiting the straightening, Pain is under knee cap

when it first happened pain was behind knee on backside of leg and it hurt on knee cap to climb stairs, That is now gone. Just the pain when I straighten.

Get yourself to a doctor and have an MRI done.
