Knee weakness at 13: Good morning. Given your age my first thought is that you may be growing faster than your muscles and tendons can keep up. The knee is thus not being kept safe with strains such as those that come with exercise and climbing up and down stairs. But i also worry if you have had an accident recently and need to be seen urgently. Then please look up condromalacia. This condition is easily treated.
