? knee cartilage: This could be a partially torn or bruised cartilage in the knee joint. If it persists, see an orthopedic surgeon to evaluate and possibly get an MRI of knee.

No: Once pain starts, it's not normal. You could have a number of things, including a meniscus injury which can cause some referred pain to the upper leg. It could be a couple other things too, like snapping hip syndrome, tight it band, hamstring tightness or quad weakness. Recommend seeing a sports doc for physical exam and treatment plan.
