Patella femoral : If your pain is in front/under your knee cap, then most likely patella femoral pain syndrome/chondromalacia patella. Best managed with exercise to strengthen your quads to improve tracking, and avoiding deep knee bending activities. Also oral or topical nsaids can be of benefit, as well as a brace or injections. This is common after surgery as your muscles controlling the patella are out of shape.

Sounds like...: You may have some patellofemoral pain related to weakness in your quadriceps. Is typically normal as you rehabilitate you thigh and quad muscles back to normal strength. Can take 6 months.
