Kneecap pain: The pain you describe w/ stair climbing and 'noise ' ( crepitus) that it makes suggests patellofemoral ( kneecap) pain.Cartilage underneath your kneecap can soften and then deteriorate w/ time.This is very common and has various causes and treatment options depending on severity. See an experienced ors for an examination and definitive diagnosis.Gl!
