A knee problem? How serious?

i am currently not in any sports- but i will be in cheerleading starting next month.

I use my right knee more than i do my left knee.

and it used to only hurt when i would run or walk on it for long distances then it would go away,but it would always come back.

and it would be on and off,

now it will hurt whenever it wants too.

any idea what it could be?

how serious?

and

would i need to go see my doctor?

    Can you list some more symptoms? Type of hurt? Location exactly? How often?

    But from what I can tell, it sounds like your active. A family member of mine is a cheerleader and I know she has to work constantly on her physical performance.

    So if you have recently done a lot of working out or bumped up in weight it could be that you strained a ligament or muscle somewhere. Is there a lot of swelling?

    My advice is to ice it and stretch it regularly, Ice on for a half hour off for a half hour for as long as you think necessary.

    I can't really say a lot more without symptoms or cause

    If you need to contact me my e-mail is listed through my account. The name was an attempt at a joke, but I'll help you more if you need it.
