My left knee has been hurting for a week now, started below the knee cap and has since moved to right above it. do i need to go to a doctor?

Sports Medicine: Not knowing what may of happened prior to the onset of the pain... guessing is all that I/we can do. Tendonitis, cracked knee cap, joint inflammation... it is best that you consult your PCP or better yet a Sports Medicine specialist.
