What Does Pain In The Knees Indicate?

Hi, my knee started to hurt, not sure if it is the knee or the side of the knee, when I started to walk fast on my new tred mill. Does not hurt when I walk but when I bend the knee to walk up and down the stairs or bend the knee to bring it to my chest. What is this??

your information is not sufficient to attain a clinical diagnosis but here believe are few conditions causing knee pain ,

osteoarthritis: pain, inflammation, and joint destruction caused by degeneration and deterioration of the joint
tendinitis: pain in the front of the knee that is made worse when climbing, taking stairs, or walking up an incline
bursitis: inflammation caused by repeated overuse or injury of the knee
chondromalacia patella: damaged cartilage under the kneecap
gout: arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid
Baker’s cyst: a buildup of synovial fluid (fluid that lubricates the joint) behind the knee
rheumatoid arthritis (RA): a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorder that causes painful swelling and can eventually cause joint deformity and bone erosion
dislocation: dislocation of the kneecap most often the result of trauma
meniscus tear: a rupture in one or more of the cartilage in the knee
torn ligament: tear in one of the four ligaments in the knee — the most commonly injured ligament is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

note : please consult orthopedist , on proper examination he will diagnose it .
