Dude, how old are you?? It might be your growth time. The process does hurt badly sometimes. Take some tylenol.

Or maybe your getting old lol

Sounds like natural growing pains.

I think that if you are really worried about the pain, and if it persists that you should go to an orthopedic surgeon so he can check it out.

Natural Treatment Tips for Knee Pain

My knees used to hurt all of the time. When I would be standing straight with my toes pointed forward, my knee caps would be shifted inward towards the inside of my legs instead of in the middle of the leg like they are on normal people. When I walked up and down stairs my knees would creak very, very loudly. My orthopedist made a diagnosis of Patella Femoral Syndrome and sent me to physical therapy. With physical therapy, my knee pain became much worse than it had ever been before. It got to the point where my husband and I were looking for a new one story home because it was becoming impossible for me to walk up and down the stairs of our two story home, especially trying to carry something like a laundry basket.

The initial physical therapist I saw for knee problems had me taping my knees into place with tape, icing my knees with ice bags, using a cross country ski machine to build up my stamina and do calisthenics type exercises to "strengthen" my knees. This whole daily process was very time consuming, and yet none of these treatments helped me one bit. In fact, I was lucky to be able to walk by the time I was done with my "therapy". The knee taping took forever to do and really hurt my skin and the exercises just tightened already stressed muscles. Knowing what I know now about muscle imbalances and body alignment, it is hard to believe that someone who had a degree in physical therapy would recommend such ineffective treatments.

I dropped the orthopedist and physical therapist I had been seeing since I was getting worse under their care, and tried a number of other different health and alternative health practitioners for my Patella Femoral Syndrome and litany of other orthopedic problems. Eventually I came to understand why my knees creaked and pointed inward, how to stop them from hurting and creaking and why physical therapy made them worse.

sounds like growing pains but it could possibly be something worse! I would go to the doctor especially if your knee cap goes out of place when you run a lot because it could be an acl tear or something and i have had one and they suck so i suggest if it gets worse to go to the doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck! Hope it isn't and ACL tear!!

It could be osteoarthritis. A lot of athletes get this, obesity, diabetes....ect. It could be growing pains depending on age. Here are some symptons of osteoarthritis......Pain in a joint during or after use, or after a period of inactivity
Tenderness in the joint when you apply light pressure
Stiffness in a joint, that may be most noticeable when you wake up in the morning or after a period of inactivity
Loss of flexibility may make it difficult to use the joint
Grating sensation when you use the joint
Bone spurs, which appear as hard lumps, may form around the affected joint
Swelling in some cases

Check with your doctor!

Have you been playing round more aggressively that you may have injured it? Think a day or two before the pain came on...

Is is swollen? If it is swollen, then you should show mom and dad and maybe see the doctor.

If not and you just gave it a good workout, ask mom and dad for some anti-inflammatory pain reducer and elevate it for a while. Something like Ibuprofen or Advil. Make sure you have food in your belly and it is within the prescription directions.

If it is swollen, have mom and dad set you up with an ice pack and use it in ..maybe 15 minute intervals for the first 24 hours. After that you can use moist heat like a wet towel heated in the nucleonic device...microwave.
