When i put pressure on to my kneecap e.g (kneeling with the knee on the grounds) i get a sharp pain on the outside of my knee. what could this be?

This could be : referred pain from inflamed cartilage from under your kneecap to a bursitis and/or tendonitis about that region of your knee. If it persists or worsens see an orthopedic surgeon.
