Need Treatment For Nerve Pain Along The Side Of The Knee Cap.

I have been having a problem with either a nerve along the outside and along the side of my right knee cap. It rarely hurts while walking or moving around. It is VERY painful if I kneel down ON the knee to do anything at all unless I massage the area first. I have never injured it any time as far as I can remember. I suspect arthritis or something in that family. Just wondered what remedy your could suggest to alleviate the soreness? Thanks. Ron
