Sds Knee Pain

[oysterman]

Hi, I have been doing SDS (minimum 60 mins) for nearly two years.

I sit something like this (but with my bum raised on a firm cushion, so my feet are closer together than this guy's):

I've started getting knee pain in my right knee, when I'm not meditating. For example when I walk up stairs.

As a consequence I have started experimenting with laying meditation and sitting in a chair. However, these aren't that painful! It doesn't feel as good as SDS in cross-legged position. I don't want to damage my knee, but I still want to sit cross-legged.

Any advice? Different sitting positions? Knee exercises? Thanks
