Knee pain from squats

Once I got up over 200lbs on my squats, I started experiencing a lot of knee soreness and tenderness.

It doesn't go away. Even when I'm off from the gym for two whole days, my knees hurt.

Just squatting down to get a pan in the kitchen, or anything like that, hurts like hell. I feel like I have the knees of an old man.

I am doing proper warm-up sets, and before I start squatting I do some stretches, nothing fancy, but I try to warm it up a little.

I am 41yo, male, 5'10", 225lb, and in good health. I am squatting just in shorts and Chuck Taylors. I'm keeping my weight on my heels pretty good, my knees and toes are in alignment throughout the full range of movement, and I'm not letting my knees cave inward.

What do?
