Sore knee. not kneecap but just below it. bending it hurts. no known injury. no bruising. right knee only. what to do?

Tendinitis : Sounds like patellar tendinitis. Try taking a NSAID ( Ibuprofen) for several days and avoiding activities that may aggravate your tendinitis( leg extensions, lunges, stair - climbing, running sports , etc.). Ice massage to the tendon when 'sore' can be helpful.Nsaid compounding creams( prescription required) are helpful. See an Orthopedic Surgeon for definitive diagnosis. GL!
