I'll tell you about my pain

First off, let me prepare you by saying that I have not managed in the least to begin grappling with the more technically descriptive side of running and its associated body parts. Thus, in comparison to you, I am liable to sound like a complete doofus. My knee was (and to some extent still is) hurting on the inside and outside laterally speaking of my kneecap (patella!). Most of the pain was/is on the outside. I thought it was all better but as I have ramped my physical activity back up (not so much running) the ache has returned. Please give a diagnosis DR. CRAGE!
