Knee pain has decided to put me into ago-knee while doing leg presses and squats. Only one knee, is there a good way to mitigate this? Any advice? It makes it near impossible to perform my leg workouts. Just started this week.

I would probably consider doing more unilateral work and start each set with your weak side. I feel like often these sort of pains and aches are caused by imbalances or lack of mobility.

When I had serious knee pain I went to a sports medicine clinic for physical therapy, with stated goals to get back to lifting. I was given a program of exercises that resolved my knee pain 100%. That was about 2 years ago and I have not had any problems since. I did have to stop the lifting for several months. During that time I used leg machines at my gym for unilateral work.
Knee pain can be due to many different problems. Im my case, I needed to strengthen the arches in my feet, my ankles, and my glutes. When I returned to lifting I learned to pay more attention to foot and knee position during lifts. For a long time I lifted with a loop stretch resistance band around my legs as a cue to make sure I didn't cave in my knees during the lift.

outside the box, have you ever gotten a Adjustment of your SI Joints/in general. I dare say a good 80% of people that start having issues its not nessesarily their knee but rather their pelvis being misaligned. over time it takes one knee more than other and you start feeling it. other than that, if its bad enough get a Knee replacement. the docs always say oooh but its only good for about ten years. How old are you in 10years, how fit will you be with a shit knee. realistically will you do other fun stuff then still? Get it now, live NOW!

try knee strength exercises before leg workout like clam shell exercise ,knee bend with resistance band and finally replace exercises like squats, lunges with machine leg extension and machine leg curl
