Another Knee Problem !!! (Read 44 times)

So I'm getting this random sharp pain from the lower part of my knee, radiating down along my shin, kind of like a severe shin splint.  Pretty much a daily occurance for the last month.   It can happen while I'm walking or running.  Sometimes it occurs when I'm slowing down or making a turn.  Seems to happen when my knee is straightening out.  I can feel fine and all of a sudden the pain appears and subsides usually after a few steps, although it can persist and I abort the run, although I generally run through it at a slow pace.  I can keep weight on the leg when it occurs, but I need to slow or stop when it happens.  Only other previous knee problem that needed treatment was a torn miniscus in the other knee.  I run about 20 miles a week at 10:30 pace and don't do speed work. 60+ age group.

Sound familiar to anyone?  Thoughts?
