Hi Chandra - don't jump to conclusions (especially on concrete) - too much worry doesn't help.

Are you still doing exercises that involve pounding on your knees - running, jumping etc? Walking distances on concrete? In my professional opinion as a former soccer coach, you sound like you have a sports injury from the boot camp that maybe you haven't allowed to heal - have you tried rest - really resting it - Are you using ice, heat? Does it still respond to advil? Are you wearing good cushioned shoes designed for running or training? Are you planning an x-ray or MRI?

I'm getting an x-ray next week for chronic intermittent hip pain to rule out avascular necrosis since I've been on Prednisone for a while - but mine wasn't associated with exercise and I think they're maybe being over cautious.

Sorry you having a hard time - hopefully it will resolve itself without too much drama.

Best,
Paul
