Hey guys i went snowboarding last week and seem to have flared up something or injured myself. When I squat i have a shooting pain under my knee cap, and when i was leg pressing half my normal weight i was painful also not terrible but a strong discomfort. Sprints felt fine though. Got and injury rehab info? Thanks my knee appreciates it

are you sure its under you kneecap or is it right on the kneecap? This sounds a lot like the patellar tendon is complaining. Try an ice massage and some advil...and some rest. :)

If the problem is actually under your kneecap, the fix may not be quite as easy. Its hard to say though. Does it ache and then go away as you lift? Does the kneed "catch" at all? Any instabolity in the knee? Swelling?

No instability, just shooting pains under the kneecap itself. As of right now there has been no swelling or anything like that. When i squat down it sends sharp pains.
