Pinching in knee area going down stairs what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: If pain is mostly in front by kneecap, likely something called patellofemoral pain or patellar tendonitis. Both are overuse problems usually treated nonoperatively with antiinflammatories, physical therapy, ice and relative rest ( avoidance of painful activities). Suggest having evaluation by sports medicine physician for evaluation.
