What Causes Pain And Pressure In Kneecap?

Hello, The problem I have is with my right knee. I have a pressured pain to the left of my kneecap. I had a shin splint, but the pain from that went away. My physical therapist believes the pain may have just moved upto my knee. But I recently just examined both of my knees and there is a slight indent under my right kneecap and just above my shin. I just wanted to know, what that might be?

most likely to be of patellar origin! please reduce your weight and change your shoes. If the shock absorption from your sole reduces, such problem could occur.
Avoid climbing down the stairs.
