Straightening my legs seems to relieve what feels like a build up of pain/pressure on the top and sides of my kneecap. i dont have any previous injuries, but a physio has said to me something about my alignment when i bend my knees, they point in wards rather than over my feet. i had this in my teens as was told its growing pain, then also when i was in the Royal Air force but was told it was probably arthritis, never really had a real answer. (so for about the past 7/8 years now) definitely worse pain in the cold or damp, but seems to be anytime of year now, if iv been sat down reading it hurts to the point where i am hobbling to walk for the first few minutes. dont know if its connected but past 6months been getting a pain in my hip/outside of my thigh that wakes me up at night if i lie on my side or starts to throb when sat down. just wondred if anyone could help as i never really seem to get an answer from anyone!
