Suggest Remedy For Painful Lump In Knee Cap

I have a bone-like lump below only my right knee cap. It is extremely painful from a simple touch. I ve had it for what I believe is over a year. Before it would have to have been hit hard to hurt badly but now it is much easier. Several times I played a contact sport and was hit there and couldn t walk for a while. What could this be?

HI
This sounds like pes anserine bursitis and it can be treated with physical therapy and a cortisone injection, but I would order an MRI of your knee first to diagnose it exactly
