i had the same problem at the same age!! thank god my brother is a doctor lol. you could have strained something or you could have this problem where your knee/leg is having trouble growing and strengthening. you need to go see your family doctor or pediatrican (whichever you go to). they will probably do an x-ray just to make sure that nothing is wrong. they will probably have you move your leg around and look at your knee and stuff.
i had it sprained in one place to i had to keep it wrapped it for about a month but then i had to wear this little brace.. its not even a brace. it goes above the knee cap and it helps ur knee and leg grow correctly and strong. they are like $15 at any pharmacy or sports store. I wear it when I am running or if I wake up and it hurts then i put it on for the day.
I don't know if thats ur problem but... you should go see your doctor. The one thing I am talking about the growing and stuff.. I can't remember what its called... but ur doctor should be able to figure out whats wrong.
you can e-mail me if you want and i will have my brother answer it since he is a doctor.
good luck!!!

This is also a case of patellafemoral syndrome, wherein the articulation among the knee cap and the tip of the femur isn't congruent. This is more commonly extra widely wide-spread in females as a result of our structural variations. Yet, it can be brought about by means of weak spot in a single detailed aspect of the quadriceps as good as tightness of the iliotibial band at the outer aspect of the leg. Pain more commonly happens while the quadricpes are required to be lively...going up and down stairs, getting up and down from a chair, and so forth. It additionally feels like you want extra comparison to make certain there is no structural harm equivalent to a torn meniscus. If it's both of the above, the next step in care must be bodily remedy wherein extra arms on exam can also be performed in an effort to try to right the hindrance and lessen suffering.

There are a number of things this could be. I would suggest that you see a doctor and have some simple tests ran to see what it is. A doctor will be able to tell you if it is something a simple as a small ligament strain or as serious as a meniscus tear. I would bet that this is something fairly minor and will heal on its own if you take a few weeks off.

there are numerous reasons, but i agree we are not the ones to ask, your doctor is more qualified.
