Patella (kneecap) pain
I hit the legs pretty hard lately and last week after a heavy leg day, I felt some pain. I thought it would pass but my knee is a bit swollen and walking up the stairs is painful.
What should I do?
Thanks, guys!

Where is the pain?
Is it under the knee cap or right above the top edge? If it is right above the top edge, that sounds like petalla tendonitis. I have the same. It is also known a jumpers knee.
I get it from heavy squating. Unfortunately, I believe laying off the squats is the only way to rehab it. you can ice it at night. NSAIDS also can help.That is what I do. I usually squat 405 but have had to leave those behind for now.
Google petalla tendonitis and you will find good info out there, along with some outlandish remedies.

I think you're right about the jumper's knee. I remember my former boss talking about it when I was still working at the General Hospital.
I hit the legs again today and the pain was really bad right after I did the horizontal leg press.

petella
I also have it, mine's right below the knee cap but I got mine from running. It's a bitch to run now so i really have to lay off the runs, I don't mind it much in the weight room though...

I had something similar to this
when I was like 17. I went to the doctor and he said it was a growing pain, eventually after I grew out of my teenage years it went away, but yeah it was only on my right kneecap
