Hi...

Your knee numbness is due to busae of the knee joint it could have inflammed while you kneel for a long time and out pressure over the bursae...
Since it may not be that much worse you may not have much of issues from it currently...

The same us responsible for your pain around patella..

Nothing to worry..

I suggest you to...

Do lot if icing to receive pain and soasn ...do it frequently...
Gentle massage around patella and over front thigh muscles, inner thigh muscles and calf muscles...
Gentle stretching to front thigh muscle...and calf muscles...

Lot of icing over painful area of the knee ( in the lower area of knee cap)

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back incase you need any further help in this regard
