This might be one of the best explanatory videos about ITB (Iliotibial Band) friction syndrome, a common knee injury in athletes that is on the outer facing side of the knees. It's caused by tension in the muscles connected to the ITB, leading to a rubbing effect on the knee. Treatment includes reducing training load, anti-inflammatory meds, and correcting predisposing factors.
I'm posting this mainly because tomorrow I'll forget how is it called :) . Today when i was hiking downhill the pain started again and at least I know now what's causing it.
