I have a question about leg exercises.
Since last year I had some trouble with my knees. Small pains etc. My doctor (athletics-orthopedics) told me that all leg exercises (especially the leg extention and leg curl) hurt the knees. He told me that in 10 years I would be looking for surgery.
My gym instructor made fun of the doctor. And the doctor made fun of the gym instructor. But I had the pains to prove that something was wrong. Whenever I stopped squating and training the legs, in 20-30 days the pains would go away.
I sistened to the doctor's advice and shifted the focus on isometrics, wore bands for the knees etc. Seemed to help. But I did regular reps for leg extention (I overlooked this exercise). Pain came to the left knee.
I have strong legs. I know the value of squat. But how do i overcome this obstacle?

Get somebody competent - say, your local USAW coach - to check your squat form.
Do high reps 2-3 times a week.
Chondroitin, glucosamine. .
