Hi there, sorry to hijack your post but I am also suffering from a knee injury if anyone is able to help!.

Basically I have sustained an injury doing yoga. It was my first time trying Bikram (and yoga for that matter), and I hadn’t done any exercise for a few weeks before, so I guess it was then.
Since I was a beginner, I believe I may have put too much pressure on my knees trying to do the stretch where you lower yourself onto one knee slowly down to the floor. There was no immediate pain, but the next day, I could barely walk as I was suffering from a very sharp pain in my right knee and lesser so in my left. Fast forward 6 weeks, and I can’t really walk long distances without feeling a dull achey pain in both knees, and have not been able to do any other form of rigorous exercise bar swimming (not sure if this is helping or hindering) since. I don’t know why it has lasted so long. I’m trying to keep movement to a minimum, but worried that although the pain has decreased a lot, it still persists!
I am male, 24, 6ft and about 76kgs if that helps. Not use to this type of exercise but generally active.

Would anyone be able to pinpoint what kind of injury I have?

Thanks, Mike
