APHP,
I had a continually "tired knee" after games.

My knee hurt (dull throb and uncomfortable) and wouldn't go away. I went to an MD and got tested for arthritis, I went to a knee guy that twisted and prodded. He told me my knee hurt. Other doctor told me it wasn't arthritis.

Now that I drink too much water (20 oz before, 20 oz. half-time), the knee is fine.

Nothing magic about that.
Hope your's isn't serious.
Good luck.

Sore too. One real bad.

I found sleeping in those mobile heat warmers like

after a good post game ice pack works wonders.

$7.00 for three. Worked for me.
