Just a thought. ......not sure if this is going to solve the problem. .....I currently use spd m520 mtb pedals and of course the relevant shoes.
I keep coming back to the cleat issue.
Although I feel my cleats are positioned correctly I can't help feeling that a more fixed pedal & shoe combination would help me !?
Less movement/rotation etc......
Like I said....just a thought

As this has been bugging you for two months and sounds troublesome off the bike, why not see the doctor and stay off the bike for a bit before spending lots of money on pedals and shoes?
What angle are your knees at when clipped in? What angle are they at when sat on a table with feet dangling? Are they the same? Try flat pedals / pedals with toe clips and see if that helps? But I'd still favour staying off the bike and seeing the quack

So I have been riding with my knee problem for months now. Doctor provided me with some anti-inflammatory tablets which work well in between rides.
The wife bought me some new spd-sl shoes and pedals as I have been using spd's since I have started cycling almost a year ago. The new pedals and shoes seem to have done the trick.....yesterday's sportif event is proof enough I would say. 117 miles with 10,500 ft of climbing and no trouble at all !
Such a relief to not have to put up with the pain
