heavy squatting have killed my knees over the years.they feel stiff and inflammed alot.what can i do to strength them and what rehab exercide will help out.

man I feel for you...the usual way to rehabilitate knees is leg extensions (VERY LIGHT though)...and stretching...I wish it were that easy...knee injuries take forever to heal...even just a little bit.

Whatever you do, you'll be way ahead of most people if you resolve not to ice it or use antiinflammatories or get any cortisone shots.

also apply as much heat as you can. Do that every day for a couple of months and you will feel better. Stretch your quads, hams, and IT band. Do very light but controlled and high rep leg extensions.

o and get a good night's sleep, every night.

Good luck!
