How Can Knee Pain Be Treated?

my husband s knee is hurting severely and has been for the past 2 weeks. He cannot extend it straight out without pain. Not sure what is causing it and he has no known recent injury. Hurts the most sitting in his recliner. When trying to move it when he s in a sitting position, pain will travel up into his front thigh-3-4 inches above his knee. Most of his pain his in the top of his kneecap.
