I would like to get eveyone's input on this, because I have been experiencing some severe knee pains just recently (as in last day or so), and it does concern me.

I get these knee pains if I straighten my leg out all the way flexed, such as when I am streching or even walking. It is a sharp pain and succeeds in catching me off guard a lot. I am not sure what is causing this, but I think I have an idea. I used to get similar pains when I would go heavy on the leg extensions. Well, last workout I went heavy on the leg extension due to I can lol, my legs are getting stronger faster than I thought possible. Anyway, is this something to worry about, or is it just a pain I have to deal with? I am just wanting to make sure it isn't something that could add up over time and eventually result in some really knee/leg damage. Again, I usually only get these pains after going heavy on legs.

It might be worthy to note that my leg day was Friday, and the pain is just now really showing up today (Monday). I ran saturday, HIT cardio (if that is the correct name), a quick 2 mile run on a tread mill.

i just thought id say i get knee pains the following days after i do heavy leg extensions or heavy leg presses. I have completely cut out leg presses b/c they do nothing for me, i do leg extensions with no less than 10 reps (3 second count contraction, 2 second down phase). the leg extensions seem to be working for me and i have no pain in my knees at all.
