Pre-patellar bursiti: This sounds like pre-patellar bursitis. That's an inflammation of the tissue in front of the knee. It commonly hurts with kneeling. Would recommend ibuprofen, icing, and rest. Typically resolves with time.

A 25-year-old female asked:
Slipped on ice and landed really hard on the inner side of my knee, 3 weeks ago. Bruising and swelling has gone down, but it burns every time it's touched. I can't kneel on it, this causes extreme burning/stinging sensations. Will this go away?

Extreme pain in interior right side of left knee. Had xray 3 weeks ago and nothing showed. Dr said should go away in two weeks but it has not. Any wieght bearing exsercse makes it worse especially bending or kneeling. Staionary bike ok however.

What would cause a sharp, jabbing pain on right side of right knee only felt when kneeling? It almost feels like broken glass sticking into it.
