Our user asked: "Hello, I'm just looking for some insight into what my problem might be. I'm not an avid runner, I don't run even a couple miles/day but when I do, I get a pain on the front outside of my right knee. It occurs only on flat and slight elevation terrain. When I run uphill or do some trail running with lots of rocks so that i am doing more jumping and swerving, it doesn't bother me. Any ideas would be appreciated."
 
Ask a PT Response: "It could be a number of things. Two conditions come to mind first - patellofemoral pain syndome or Illiotibal band Syndrome. From what you describe, I would probably take a closer at your patellofemoral joint. It sounds like the more knee flexion you have with activity the less pain (uphill, uneven surfaces, etc). I'd recommend you see a PT in your area if you are able to as he or she will be able to physically examine you and determine what could be contributing to your condition. I wish you the best of luck."
