what part of your knee hurts? Around your patella? (more on the medial, inside, or lateral, outside.) Under your patella? Between your patella and tibia (shin bone). Does it swell up when it hurts? What type of activities make it hurt most?
Do a couple test. stand on your right leg with your knee bent a little and twist your body back and forth. If this hurts you may have torn a small part of your cartilage, meniscus.

I suppose you didn't have a bi - lateral MRI? Maybe you did. I will say that my knees were hurting and found out it was the way I was sitting with my knees bent sideways. yes, it got to hurting the following day, also, when I wake up from sleep I had the bad habit of stretching my legs real hard without realizing it until I starting catching myself and not doing it. and when I don't do that, they don't hurt. I hope this is as simple for you. First just take a look at yourself, how you sit, stretch and what you may be doing that may be causing some stress on your knees. Good Luck to you ... Bt the way, there is no such thing as frowing pains. Also, if you are excercising, don't do knee bends and if you do some, only do partial ones, just go parcially down so the stress is not on or in your knees.

If you want to know what to do about it, than YES go to a different doctor, seek a second or third opinion if necessary. Has xrays been done on your knee? Try a specialist not just a general practioner. Evaluate your lifestyle to see what activities are causing the pain. Do you do anything currently to try and alleviate the pain or prevent it.
Some minor "temporary" fix its could include pain medication like Advil or Aleve (never take both within 24 hours of each other), or other antiinflammatory, trying a knee brace, stretching and propert warm up and cool down before and after exercising.

First off, never heat up your knee, or put a heating pad on it. Try icing your knee(s) every night with a huge bag of ice, and leave the bag of ice on your knees for 20 minutes. You can put the ice on while you're watching tv, doing your homework, eating dinnner, etc. Try and keep the ice on for the whole 20 minutes, and don't take it off if it gets too cold! The colder, the better. Do this for about a month every night for twenty minutes, and you will see a great improvement. Also, don't forget to stretch before you exercise and whatnot!

if you are really tall and you ride a school bus, it is because you don't have enough legroom.
used to happen to me all the time.
if that is not the case, it is probably from another habit that you don't realize you are doing.
keep a journal for a week, and write down all the things you do physically right before the aches start. you will notice a pattern.
i hope you feel better soon!
have a nice day!

If you don't want to go to the doctor, then how about trying webmd.com and see what they say?
It's like an on-line doctor visit that can suggest what the problem might be, and offer suggestions on what to do about it.
Sounds like growing pains to me though, and nothing serious.
Take aspirin, or ibuprofen for the pain as long as you're not allergic to any of it. Mild exercise and stretching.
Do look at the web site though and see if that helps more.

do leg extension exercises to strengthen the muscles that hold the patela/knee cap in correct position (the muscles right above the knee).....will correct the imbalance and you'll be pain free.
also wearing poorly fitting shoes can throw off the alignment in your knees....
