While running its the knee cap area or sometimes feels like its pulling above the knee. Can't see any visible swelling and nothing hurts to touch. It's not stopping me running bit worry it might. Had this for about 6 weeks now. Not a great description but any ideas how to resolve this Thanks

Saw a good physio who gave me a core and glute exercise programme with a specific emphasis on training the glute to activate when my foot hits the floor as I had become very quad dominant after increasing cycling. It is gradually improving.
