Hi there!

Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include patellar dislocation, chondromalacia, fractures, injuries to the internal ligaments/ menisci, infections/ inflammations, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, cyst formation, iliotibial band syndrome, bone growths/ tumours, nerve injuries/ impingement etc. I would suggest considering an evaluation by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
