What Causes Knee Pain While Climbing Up The Stairs?

I have pain in my knee when trying to go up a stairstep. I m recovering from back surgery that affected the sciatic nerve, but I think that is getting better. I stepped on a garden hose last year and had an extremely severe pain in my knee (like kidney stone pain) but just rested and used ice. I got better but after surgery my knee seems to have flared up again.
