Yesterday was leg day. I woke this morning feeling fine, but once I got to work it started hurting. There is swellign and the pain is located right below the knee cap. When I bend the knee more it seems to hurt more. Not sure if its because of movement or just the postion or both. I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems.

Haven't seen this before.
Take an Ibuprofen and see the doctor...
What exercises did your leg workout involve bro?

In order
3x Back Squat
3x Extension with pause
3x Hamcurl
3x DB calf raise
2x Smith Calf raise
Its pretty simple and I was going light and easy because I haven't been in the gym for a few weeks. It was a smooth session. Its really odd.
On the doctor note. I think Im going to pass. Every doctor I have seen about an injury ended up not doing anything for me.

Damn bro, I wish I could help you more, but all I can say is, I think extensions are a knee wrecker... but I generally feel it above the knee cap, not below. The only thing I've really noticed hard on my knees was hack squats when I first started doing them, and it passed once I built up some strength.

The reason why extensions are so hard on the knees is because people have the tendancy to lock their knees when doing extensions. Locking the knees at the top of the movement is not good for them at all.
