I play volleyball and the back and sides of my knee hurts. it hurts to bend it and go up and down stairs. what could it be?

Many possibilities: In the absence of a trauma/injury, then abnormal tracking of the kneecap, called patellofemoral syndrome would be the most common cause of your pain. Cartilage problems (meniscus tear or osteochondral injury) would be other considerations. Finally, tendonitis of various tendons is another thought.
