care for your knees and joints
Is there anything special that you do to care for your knees and joints?
Just recently I noticed a twinge in my knees at the patella (knee cap) and I am wondering if I may have strained ligaments?
Right now, I am taking some time off to rest my legs and knees and see what happens.

Questions like this are best discussed with your doctor, mate.

As mentioned above, start with RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
add to that being conscious of good posture when you're walking, riding, and especially when you're sitting.
