On two consecutive trips now my walking partner has suffered extreme
pain near his left knee (internal but near the offside) very soon after
starting the descent off the mountain. No problems going uphill
however. Once started the pain doesn't go away even when on flat
ground. He finds it subsides slightly if he walks with his leg twisted
but that begins to cause other problems. He's going to see a doctor or
physio about it as soon as he can after the holidays are finished. I
hope he gets successful treatment as otherwise hill climbs, especially
Munros, will be out of the question. I'm not looking for specific
medical advice, but has anyone here suffered similar problems and if so
what did you have to do to cure it? Could this be related to just
weight and fitness or could it be something requiring surgery?
