Would walking up and down the stairs all day be really bad for the knees?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stair climbing: For the most part, given a fairly normal knee- stair climbing would be quite helpful because it give the quadriceps muscles (on top of the thighs) a good workout.

I am feeling an enormous amount of pain in my knee. Specifically in the front under my knee cap. It hurts when i walk and when i bend my knee. Also going up stairs and down stairs becomes a difficult task. As the day continues, i feel more and more pain.
Good day, I seem to be experiencing knee pains, especially when I walk up/down stairs. I am quite active and participate in sport, and I'm unsure if that is causing damage on my knees. I also run on the treadmill quite regularly. Many thanks. ?
