HI,
Thanks for the query.
The pain by side of knee cap can be due to trauma/ vitamin D or calcium deficiency/ inflammation of ligaments or tendons involved in knee joint.. X ray of knee may not reveal many of the causes, CT scan/ MRI/ Blood investigations ( serum calcium,rheumatic factor ) need to be done as per an orthopedic surgeon's advise to detect basic cause. & specific treatment to be followed.
Please consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Thanks.
