Why Am I Having Pain In My Right Knee?

I have some pain in the right knee. The pain is kind of a shock wave and comes occasionally. This was happening quite rarely from past few months and was momentary. However since past two days the frequency and intensity have increased. I got the X-Rays and the Doctor concluded that the mechanical functioning of joint looked OK.
