Knne Injuries

I'm just looking for the input of anyone else who's been in the same boat...
I have a niggling problem with my knees, primarily my right, but now the left being slightly affected. Basically I can walk for a long distance on flat ground with no problem, but on ascents I get a very slight pain under the kneecaps, which seems to cause the area above the left and right sides of the kneecap to swell up badly, in turn making descents a living hell, to the extent that even easy rocky steps are awful.
Its been x-rayed with no bone damage showing, I was referred to physio, who after 5 sessions has no idea what's going on. I'm going back to the GP next week in an attempt to get it scanned for soft tissue damage. As I said at the start it's much more obvious on the right knee, but the left is now giving me bother.
I did Ben Starav yesterday, after a few weeks off the hills and it's as bad now as it's ever been.
Anyone else had similar issues and what happened?
