What Causes A Hard Knot Below The Knee?

I m sixteen and was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter around age 7. Then, I continued to have knee problems like my right knee would get this bone hard knot, right below the knee cap, then it d go away. I went back to the doctor and they said it was arthritis when I was about 13. Now, my right knee has been bruising and gaining the knot again only this time I ve had it for a continuous month, along with the bruising and it hurts to walk or bend my knee, and it s never lasted for more than two days. Does anyone have an idea on what s going on?
