I injured my knees many years ago (around 2000). I spend alot of time at one stretch infront of the computer at that time and I think I didn't stretch/move my leg enough. I used to jog frequently but haven't been exercising consistently for quite sometime.
One day, I went for a jog and during the jog I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my right knee, but I was stupid to continue jogging although I slowed down the pace. After that I start to feel pain in front of my right knee (it also feels
like inside of the knee cap).
I only feels the pain when I am jogging, climbing up staircases and sometimes when climbing down staircases too. I also feel a crunching or clicking sound when I bend or extend the knee if I didn't move or stretch my leg.
I don't feel any of those pain when I am resting, normal walking or brisk.
I am chinese, aged 41, 1.78m, about 80kg.

I would like to ask for your opinion on: 1. Is this a common injury 2. Are there treatments available? 3. Do I need to be concerned?
