This is a special by request practise requested by Sam :) The kneecap is designed to slide along a groove in the femur, and it has to move smoothly within that groove to do its job well. If it goes “off track” (and it often does), it grinds away at the cartilage underneath and destabilizes the knee. The ensuing wear and tear is a key reason for knee replacement surgery, which a lot of people believe is necessary because they think the cartilage is “gone.” But the truth is that cartilage can grow back, albeit slowly. The main problem is that if we don’t correct the imbalanced pull of muscles on the kneecap, we will continue to grind our cartilage down faster than our body can replenish it. 
Now the absolute best way to stop knee pain (at least based on what i've found in my research) is to strengthen and work on your vastus medialis (inner most quad muscle) which is the muscle that is responsible for extension and hyperextension of your knee joint. Here is the set i came up with designed to target the vastus medialis. 
The warrior poses: http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/warrior-i-pose/  Forward bend:http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/big-toe-pose/ 
Bound Angle Pose: 
http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/bound-angle-pose/  
Frog Pose: http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/half-frog-pose/ 
Heron Pose: http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/heron-pose/ 
Reclining Bound Angle Pose: http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/reclini ... ngle-pose/ 

Some of this stuff might be a bit to advanced for you, so don't do anything that hurts you to much. Hope this helps Sam (and any of my brothers and sister out there who suffer from knee pain) 



 
Thanks Yog! My knees aren't as strong as I would like them to be so this will benefit me as well :)
 
Yog, you are a true friend! :) Thank you so much for this! This is a literal gift. I always have this pain when I get up from kneeling, so I hope this will help.Thanks Yog, if you need anything just ask.HAIL SATAN!!!
