Trying to strengthen knees without knowing what's going on may make things worse.
I agree. If I had to spend money, I'd rather spend it on professional help regarding figuring out what the hell is wrong with my knees, than on nice cycling gear or other material goods. Material things can be gotten later/replaced. You only get one set of knees.
