well at first my answer was sit on it, but since you are talking about ribbion- I say tie it around your knees to keep away the other.

Butterfly stretches where you sit with your knees out and the bottoms of your feet together have some one press down on your knees and hold for a count thirty if you knees touch the floor have a person stand on your legs to add more pressure BE CAREFUL NOT TO START FROM THE KNEES START CLOSE TO THE HIPS AND WORK YOUR WAY OUT TO THE KNEES.\nLots of splits, regular splits and Jean Claude van damn splits(sorry!only way I know how to explain it)And lots of high kicking\nIt's not going to happen over night be patient and stretch slow and consistent

I HAD THAT EXACT PROBLEM YEARS AGO. TRY WALKING THE STAIRS. USE THE STAIRS AS A FORM OF EXERCISE. IT WILL NOT ONLY THIN YOUR THIGHS BUT IT'LL ALSO LIFT YOUR BUTT.

this happens only to men, I think.  And it happens only to very skinny people.  I experience that too. Make sure your belt it tight.  If your jeans nearly touch the ground, that's a problem.  Fold it up or get shorter pants-- it feels better.

Deep Knee bends and lots of walking.\nThe deep knee bends will maintain your muscles while the walking will trim down the thighs

BEND YOUR KNEES SLIGHTLY.\n\nDO PRACTICE AGAIN & AGAIN.

Sit-ups for stomach, and for thighs, just lay down and pick up your legs, spread them apart, then back together, then down. Repeatedly. You'll feel your muslces working.

You should go down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, then back up.  Some people will go lower, but it is very hard on your knees and the benefit of going lower than parallel is negligible at best.

I had severely bruised both my knees in an auto accident.  It really messed up the sensation.  Like you, the structures were "fine", but since it injured the nerves, it took nearly a year to improve...actually, and at about 5 years it was about 75%.  Now, 15 years out, my knees feel good, but they're still not quite right and certain sensations a little strange.\n\nI would imagine that a little brief, gentle massage along with heat/cold/heat/cold alternating (2 mins@) every day would help to stimulate the nerves to regenerate more effectively.  \n\nIn the meantime, do whatever level of exercise that you can; this will speed healing.  Be patient, and remind your knees that it's safe to come out to play again!\n\nLove & Light!

The problem people have with toe touches is this: They want to bring their hands to their feet, but their feet are really low which brings their toe touches DOWN.\nBring your feet up to your hands, keep your hands up! Also, make sure to keep your back upright ands straight as possible.\nPractice sitting in the toe touch position as much as you can, like while watching TV or doing homework. \n\nI'd say do the same things with herkies, except in herkie position.\n\nGood luck!

Also, move your knees from side to side. It releases a trapped nerve if it's siatica.

For the perfect "bike fit" do this:\n1. Raise your seat so you can comfortably extend your legs to the pedals. \n2. With your heal on the middle of the pedal, and the pedal in the lowest position (6 o'clock), your leg should be fully extended with your knees locked. \n3. Now put the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal as it is still in the lowest most position.  Your knee should have a slight bend.\n4. To check your "fore & aft" position, have a friend hold your bicycle and put your pedals in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions or parallel to the ground.  Have your friend hang a string with a washer tied to the end of it (plum bob) from the front of your knee cap.  The washer should be touching the end of the crank arm.  If it is furhter away or behind it, adjust the position of your seat accordingly. \n5. If you still have knee pain, go to your local bike shop and have them fit you professionally.\n\nhope this helps!

Place one foot about 3 feet in front of the other bend your leg forward so that your back knee almost touches the ground and your front leg is at a 90 degree angle, hold that and then rise up

Interesting, I have had this feeling before and this is what I have done: Get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours), eat healthy (fruits, protein [chicken], salad, fibers [oatmeal, breads], drink lots of water) 3-5 small meals a day, and get rid of any stinking thinking. Its important to stretch and drink water before, during and after your exercises. The most important thing I have done is stand up, bend slightly over, put your hands on your knees, and squat down slowly while keeping your hands on your knees as added support, then stand up slowly while keeping your hands on your knees, do this 15-20 times BEFORE doing any exercises such as running, squats, any leg lifts, anything that bends the knees - this warms up the knee joints. Also, wear comfortable shoes. Run on grass rather than a hard surface as it takes the impact away from your knee joints. Consider swimming and cycling as a good warmup. Maybe do lighter weight for a while to save your joints. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your joints active. Maybe look into some joint repair supplements at GNC. I do circuit training and I get a great workout without the heavy weights. My knees are fine now. Good luck.

There is a condition called "water on the knee". It should get better with cold packs and rest

You could have excess fluid in your knee.  Or possibly have messed up a ligament.  If it bothers you often you should see your doctor.
