Runner’s Knee or Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by a dull pain that is “behind” or “around” the top of the kneecap. It is the most common of all running ailments, accounting for 16.5% of injuries according to one recent study.
You will likely have pain when resisting leg extension, and possibly tenderness if you push against the kneecap itself - aggravating movements include squatting, running (especially downhill), descending stairs and prolonged sitting.
