What's causing my knee pain?

I'm 24, and I have knee pain almost every day, and it only worsens when I walk or run. What could be the cause?

If there was not a traumatic event or fever, the most common reason for what you described could be some damaged cartilage, but there are many other possibilities. A proper history and physical is the most important first step in figuring out the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

Most likely it Chondromalacia patella. Take Ibuprofen 600 mg 3 times a day with food. Google the syndrome and do the exercises. Avoid stairs and squatting.

Hope it helps!
