Hello and welcome to HCM,
Lumps on right knee which are painful on kneeling, wearing tight clothes, touching or moving can be due to development of bursae.
Bursae are fluid filled swellings caused by irritation.
I suggest you to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment for definitive diagnosis.
Treatment of bursae is conservative with anti-inflammatory drugs and hot fomentation.
Thanks and take care
