My uncle is 50yrs. he got healthcheck up done. everything is fine. while walking he is getting shooting pain in knees only. why?

Arthritis: Regular checkup doesn't evaluate for arthritis typically. Sounds like degenerative arthritis if the knees or meniscus tear. Needs an Orthopaedic exam., X-rays and possibly MRI.
