There is a pretty good chance the bone is simply too far forward and a chiropractor should be able to fix it.
There is a book that teaches about muscles, pain and referred pain anywhere in the body. The principle is that the muscles get knots called trigger points which make the muscles tight that then press on nerves. It teaches how to get them to release which gets rid of the pain.
The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I also use a chiropractor and massage therapist as needed.

If you don't give it the time it requires to heal and go down on it's own, you will most definitely develop jumper's knee if you haven't already.
Don't be stupid, do what the therapist is telling you.
