You need an evaluate: This could be an internal knee problem you need an appropriate evaluation . Is it Muscle , is it a tendon is a bursa, is it joint, or is it Cartlidge. My biggest concern from what you tell me is it could be one of these - Cartledge would be the one I would be first thinking about
