<p>I can hike uphill practically all day. However as very soon after I start a descent, pain builds on the outside of my knee. What is causing this and can I do anything to prevent/mitigate it (other than Ibuprofen)?</p> <p>Edit: I talked to my doc and the location of the pain is very important in the cause. Note that this is pain on the outside (side) of the knee specifically, as opposed to pain in the knee or below/under the kneecap.</p>
