Hi,

This seems to be a case of patellar tendinitis, or infra patellar bursitis. It is a inflammatory degenerative condition. All you need to do is to prevent excessive knee flexion (bending) avoid squatting, heavy weights lifting with knee in flexion, excessive stair climbing.You need to do ice fomentation twice or thrice a day, and local physiotherapy in the form of ultrasound therapy should be good.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
