Anyone offer any advice on experiencing pain in the outer left leg, level with the knee joint.
Hurts more going downhill.
Shoes are in need of renewal as the outside heel is worn.
Can this be 'cured' by new shoes, strapping the knee, insert a new heel insole, ibrupropen and rest?

Sounds like you might need a trip to Mally's grotto mate
He'll sort you out
Also a new pair of shoes have never hurt anyone

Good luck matey!

I combat what sounds like a similar pain by using a knee brace and plenty of knee strengthening exercises

I had this a few years back - rest initially cured it but after a trip to the physio a set of knee/quad strengthening exercises did the trick - but you have to keep on doing them....
