Pain in knee cap when kneeling

Any ideas what this could be?
When I kneel I get a pain in one knee that feels exactly like I have knelt on a small stone something hard. In fact for a couple of days I thought that's what it was. When I realised that it wasn't anything I'd knelt on I had a look at my knee but can't see any lump or bruise.
I've been doing a lot of work on the house and spending a lot of time on my knees, so could it be something I've done to it?

It sounds like you have a loose body in your knee. Ask your GP to refer you to an Orthopaedic Surgeon who will probably offer you an MRI to diagnose, or an arthroscopy, when they insert a small camera into your knee and remove the loose body (this is done laparascopically, also known as keyhole surgery).Sometimes you have to go throughthe rain to get to therainbow0

Has this come on recently? Can you do full leg extensions without any problems? If untreated, then it can potentially cause more damage to the knee over the long term. I would recommend to get it checked out. Don't let the GP fob you off!! Insist your GP to refer you to be seen by an Orthopedic Surgeon.0
