The fact that it has increased,means its Active Bursitis and needs to be treated soon.

Get the Xray / if need be CT of KNEE

If no relief Ensoscopic Surgery for Synovial ablation and Repair of the Pre-Patellar Bursitis would help you opinion,who would do RA/CRP and would evaluate and would give needful treatment
