The most like cause is patella tendinopathy. The cause can be due to some mal alignment of the patella due to some tightness of lateral structures of the knee, and/or some weakness in the quads muscle.

As Jane mentioned above, you may have a patella tracking problem.
The general principles of treatment are:
streching
strengthening eexercises
You may also also have to strengthen around your hips (hip abductor muscles) as this may be contributing to poor alignment of your legs.
Hope this helps…Report this post
