Hello, just below my left knee cap feel like this on and off tightness. i had done calf raises the day before. what?

Patellar tendon: If in the middle just below tibia this is the area of your patellar tendon. Rest, use ice, compress with ace bandage, elevate. This is called RICE. If no improvement see MD. Good luck.
