Answer 1

It has been my experience with clients that it is not the knee at all , It is the muscles above the knee , If you go to a sporting good store they have bands that people wear around the abdomen, they are connected with velcro and are about six inches wide. The objective is to wrap the  mid thigh .... not so tight you can not move just enough to hold the muscles. By doing this you start to force the muscles above the knee to support the joint and it will take the pressure off your knees. I recommend the bands for the backing. It is kinda rubbery and it will not slide off your legs when you move

Try using an elastic wrap. Try not to be on them too much though.
