A. These are classic symptoms of patellar pain or knee cap related symptoms. Patients may have some or all of the following symptoms: 1) pain ascending and or descending stairs localizing to the front of the knee region, 2) clicking, popping or crepitation related to active flexing (bending) or extending (straightening) the knee, 3) discomfort sitting for periods of time with the knee bent, 4) a sense of weakness or giving way with straight ahead walking or standing, 5) difficulties arising from a squatting or kneeling position, and 6) stiffness after arising from being seated for a prolonged time period (start up stiffness).
