Hector, when you stand up do you feel a 'click' with the pain??  Is the back of your knee swollen?? Do you have full motion of your knee without pain when sitting or lying down?

Did you injure your knee lately?  You could have a torn meniscus or chipped bone rattling around between the ball and the socket, very painful, torn meniscus is painful.  Usually referred to as sports injury.

I don't know your age but normal wear and tear on the joint will eventually cause pain and stiffness, worn cartledge -- the cushion and lubricant the moving parts need.  Worn out you will probably hear and feel a crunching sound when bending.

And finally--- Go see a doctor...

SEE A DOCTOR! (LOL). Welcome to the club Den.As we age our knees seem to be one of the first things to deteriorate.Makes you wish you had looked after the a bit better in your youth.Glucosomine tablets help some peole with the problem but it's not a quick fix.You can buy them over the counter at pharmacies & even in the supermarket over here.It shouldn't be too different where you are.Good luck with it mate.
