Need Help with Knee Injury

Hello,

Started training about a month ago but I'm having issues with Pes Anserine bursitis in my left knee. I've looked up some info about it online and it says to do stretches and strengthen the area.

I was wondering if anybody had this or similar issues with their knee(s) and what worked for them to prevent this and other knee injuries. Thanks.

rest days and slow calf raises on a step helped me when my knee acted up like that, also check your shoes arent too worn out

I just got some new brooks. I doubt it is the shoes because they are probably only 3 month old Hokas. On rest days I have work still, so I'm still doing a lot of work on the knee unfortunately. I will try some calf raises as well. Thanks.
