The one thing I have heard from my partner, and the group he trains with is that with knee pain from cycling, don't go to a doctor because they will almost always give bad advice. If you go to a doctor - go to a sports specialist who KNOWS about cycling injuries.
However, that being said, make sure your seat is at the right height and angle, and that your pedals/cleats are at the right angle.
The other thing is that one leg may be a fraction longer than the other
My partner just wandered by, and suggested you go to "high sierra" cycling on the net, and check out a guy called Tom who apparently does alot of work with knee pain... putting spacers undercleats to even up legs etc...

My partner says he found him very good to deal with (even though via the net and half a world away). my partner reckons if you live in America and fancy a visit there it would be well worth it.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
