It sounds like it may be patello-femoral knee pain syndrome. It is very common (46% of knee problems in phsyio treatment are due to this)<br>
Pain is there only when the leg is extended and with weight (hence going down stairs)? Feels like the knee is 'catching'?<br><br>
I am experiencing the same thing. Ran 4 marathons last year without a problem and then went bowling and must have done something to my trailing knee becaue I have not been able to run for four weeks. I blame the extreme sport of bowling--while physiotherapist suggests that the running made me vulnerable to it.<br><br>
Have been going to physio and Using ice, knee support, Ibuprofein. If it persists will explore where there is some cartilige involved. Good luck in your recovery.
