Knee Pain - What is it? It feels like my knee cap is scraping as it slides over if i lock my knee out.?
My knee started to hurt one day when i was running to the point where i had to stop running. This was about 2 1/2 years ago. I dont run now as a result (which I hate) but I am reluctant to see a doctor because a bad knee diagnosis could hurt my career. I can do biking or an eliptical machine without pain however. I also feel pain if i try to lock out my knee hard. I also noticed that if I push my right kneecap out to the outside (right), it glides much smoother. I'm assuming I have some sort of tracking problem but I'm not sure. Does this sound like a tracking problem and if so, what are the best exercises to pull my kneecap glide to the outside?

1. you may have worn the cartilage away around the knee cap. this can sometimes happen if over years your knees have been taking "beating" from the shock absorbed upon impact with the ground or continuous "rubbing" movements, whether running, playing sports riding the bike, etc. Go to a orthopedic doctor if need be, there might be some arthitritis setting in. All the best.
