[|AI|]  Hi! There is kind of nagging chronic inflammation / infection there, and it needs orthopedic opinion! Well, your problem is very common especially in young individuals and in such cases we generally do x-ray/USG or a fine needle aspiration biopsy for confirmation of the diagnosis. The possibilities come as follows:1. A chronic abscess or synovitis: 60% of cases2. An inflamed bursa 30 % of cases3. Loose bodies like fragments of patella or tendons 5 % cases4. Arthritis like erosive arthritis 5% casesTherefore, you need rest of the joint, investigations and must see an orthopedic surgeon for possible line of management. Wishing you good health!
