My r kneecap hurts only since 2 wks. i wore boots and stood on my feet & that's how it started. what should i do to ease pain? should i see a doc?

Depends: Let pain be your guide. If the pain was indeed due to the stress placed on your knee from the boots and extra standing then time and some anti-inflammatory meds may be all you need to recover. If the pain persists or worsens, then see the dr. For an exam, best wishes.
