I was just wondering of there are any injury specialists on here? My left knee is fucked I think , It hurts like fuck when I try to stand up from squatting etc, and it aches when I have been playing football etc. Is really odd, I can bear my whole weight on it fine if it is straight, but trying to stand from bent knee positions or extending it when I am sat down etc hurts like a bastard, as does kneeling down . Sometimes I cannot bend it at all, especially if I have to subject it to impact etc...I can walk fine etc, but also If I try to "thrust", like pushing myself up steps it hurts then as well.....

The pain is from behind the top of kneecap, I think in my limited medical knowledge that it is a cartlidge problem, as I can feel it "click" when I try to bend it

I don't really want to go to the docs yet as it might fuck my carreer and my pilots licence up, just wondering if there is anything anyone can suggest it might be and any remidial work I could try to do on it??

My knee clicks all the time, i think it's from years of heavy squats, try taking ibuprofen and glcosomine, there was an article in an old issue of flex mag re knee pain and a way to relieve it, i'll try and dig it out

Remember pain in your knee can come from your hips. I was told I had a stiff knee and was given months of thysio to loosen it and all along I had a broken hip. You obviously won't have a broken hip but it could be coming from your hip.

my knees and elbows occasionally click. especially when I've just woken up but thats about it.

As for the pain, sorry to hear that mate, could just be really torn muscle fibres.
