Patellofemoral pain : With no history of injury and your description of your symptoms suggest patellofemoral ( 'kneecap') pain.Lose weight if you are overweight, strengthen your quadriceps( leg lifts, leg press), try an anti inflammatory ( Ibuprofen) / kneecap 'sleeve' and avoid aggravating your kneecap( squatting, stairs, etc).
