Answers:
It could be chondromalacia which is the grinding or rubbing of the underside of the patella (kneecap) by the femur and/or tibia. It occurs often in runners and can be called runner's knee. It can also be painful going up or down stairs or walking down hills or anything sloped. Have an orthopedic doctor take a look at it. Sometimes physical therapy can help or working the quadriceps (if you work out at the gym), as the quads are the main stabilizer for the knee. Good luck.
