Inner knee/hamstrings pain when telemarking?

On the same theme as fisheater...
I have been alpine skiing since I was 3 (21 years ago) and now, it's been 2 wonderful years since I discovered the realm of telemark turns. I really felt in love with the sport, going out 3-4 times a week and always looking for steeper slopes.
However, more recently, I started to develop pain in the inner part of my right knee. It now hurts a bit every time I walk (can't run for long) and I can't climb up/down stairs fast. It does get worse after xcD sessions. Therefore, I immediately suspected telemark as the culprit, since it requires quite a bit of leg twisting and bending. If it's the case, it really is a shame, because when you get good at telemark, it makes parallel/alpine touring skiing soooooo boring (from my point of view). I feel absolutely no excitement in going back to my old, burly, challengeless, over-technological alpine skiing gear, which basically skis by itself.
So has anyone ever felt such inner knee pain from telemark? If so, did you solve the problem? How? For general information, I'm a "fit" male in his twenties, skiing a pair of Rossignol BC80s with Alpina Alaska NNNBC leather boots (waiting on my knew Ingstads to arrive).
Appointement with my phy$iotherapi$t is booked on friday.
Thanks!
