[QUOTE="Deadman Walking, post: 1995520, member: 106506"] I'm no doctor, nor am I a physical therapist. But I have a B.S in Kinesiology and was a CSCS. I also have had my share of injuries and have spent loads of time in PT. As far as knee surgeries I have had surgery on both my patellar tendons, and I have partially torn meniscui in both knees. Without an MRI and a good doctor, there is no way to know what is really wrong with your knee, so it is hard to say what is best. The general rule is to stay away from what causes pain, and do what doesn't cause pain, ice after exercise and warm up properly before exercise. Proper strength training and stretching can also be beneficial as it improves your muscles ability to support the knee and keeps tight muscles from pulling on joints wrong causing bad form. Don't just focus on your legs also stretch and strengthen your core as everything your legs do is performed off the stability of the core. Usually high impact activity should be avoided, so should exercises like lunges, leg curls, leg extensions, and bulgarian squat. Down hill anything with weight will usually cause knee pain. Generally sticking step ups, squats and hex bar deadlifts is safe (WITH PROPER FORM). Also cycling is often a good option for [URL='https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=cardiovascular&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8']cardiovascular[/URL] training, but depending on what is wrong can be worse. Other then the above suggestions, if what your are doing isn't causing you problems I would switch to something that might (if it's not broke...) Also make sure you take some time off before your hunt to let your body properly recoup and you should try to get to elevation a few days before your hunt as it will allow for acute acclimatization. This is all very general and without a professional being able to actually figure out what's wrong, a lot of suggestions can do more harm than good (even suggestions coming from a professional who has [URL='https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=misdiagnosed&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8']misdiagnosed[/URL] the problem) so listen to your body.
