I have knocked knees as well (so do my boys) and have had extreme pain since I can remember. I have found walking and jogging (12 - 8 min miles respectively) keeps the pain at bay - but everyone is different. See your doctor, he can recommend physcial therapy - you want to get strong leg muscles to support your knees especially as you get older.
yes u should go to the doctor. he may suggest physical therapy if he thinks it can help you. otherwise he may give you a cortisone shot
