I have a pain in my left knee cap. when i bend my knee, it feels painful to straighten the knee and if i have been standing, it feels painful to bend?

Anterior knee pain : This kind of knee pain is fairly common. It could be inflammation of the patellar tendon or might be pain in the patello-femoral joint space (where the knee cap rubs against the end of the femur). Either way, this sort of knee pain usually improves with physical therapy exercises.
