A member asked:

Knee hurts when i bend it but not when i stand on it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple reasons: Many pathologies can cause knee pain with knee flexion. Without more info and an exam, it is difficult to give a firm diagnosis. If pain is severe, you should be evaluated by your primary care physician or orthopaedic surgeon.
