Knee pain: Many causes. Most likely is patellofemoral syndrome, but could be meniscus tear, ligament tear, or something else. Check with your orthopedic surgeon for good exam & imaging.

Xray: It is probably in your best interest to go and see a doctor who could at least xray your knee to rule out any structural problems.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormalities.
