Does this summarize your knee pain?

-inside of knee, maybe slightly above the joint
-hurts when getting up from extended sitting, but then feels better once "warmed up"
-hurts on stairs (up or down or both?)
-hurts a lot when a lot of weight is on the bent knee, like a squat or a deep front stance
-doesn't hurt at all when weight not on it
-feels like the knee will give out
-compression above the knee helps some, but doesn't fix it
-not a traumatic injury, maybe came on during some intense workout
-does not seem to improve over time

If that matches, then it's something I am very familiar with and muscle related even if it doesn't feel that way. Are you familiar with trigger points? If it matches I'll explain further. It wasn't until you mentioned the "just got up" part that it clicked that it sounds like the same thing I had. And it's really annoying and not something most doctors look for.
