Hi,
In my opinion, you have an inflammation of patellar tendon called patellar bursitis. Start painkillers, local heat and avoid putting any pressure on the site for few days. If no relief in 10 days, consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
