Pain or aching in cartilage, especially in the cartilage of the joints like the knees or shoulders.
From Greek 'chondros' (cartilage) + 'dynia' (pain), a medical term combining these roots to describe cartilage-related pain conditions.
Runner's knee often involves chondrodynia—the cartilage under your kneecap gets irritated from pounding, which is why it hurts when you go up stairs, and why many athletes have to learn to run differently.
