When I was in Junior High, I fractured both of my knees. I felt the pain in the knee/shin area. It wasn't a serious fracture; just the front of the knee, but a fracture nonetheless. My uncle is a chiropractor (he's the one who X-Rayed it for me), and he had me wearing a knee brace, and whenever I would run, I could never run downhill; ONLY uphill.

That healed after a couple of years (it took a long time because it was right when I started to get really active), and now that I, too, am heavily into playing basketball, I fear that I might've re-fractured them a few months ago. I'm feeling the exact same pain that I had felt years before; it only hurts when I bend my knees to take a jumper or a free-throw.

My point is you should probably get it X-Rayed, even though it might just be "jumper's knee." My injury is also a very common injury, mostly among young kids, but if it truly has reoccured in my case (I still need to get them re-X-Rayed), then it's very possible that it can carry on into adulthood.
