I do Starting Strength(where you have to squat 3x a week), and got into a situation where I hurt my knee while lifting heavier weight. Nothing is broken, but my right knee hurts whenever i try to squat. I decided to invest in some knee sleeves, though i still have some issues where my particular knee has trouble.

Would you suggest I take a one week break from lifting, in order for proper recovery? Or would it be better to plow through the pain, in order to maintain my gains/strength? For people who have hurt or had very very minor injuries from lifting weights, what did you do?

Note: Won't go to doc. I already spent tons on medical bills last month due to an unrelated medical issue. And my problem isn't an emergency situation. atm, anyway

Not sure if this is some sort of gimmick or not due to the account name, but definitely wanna wait and recover, dude.

Do you really need to have two knees?

Probably hurt your knee from carrying all those random unnecessary capital letters around.
