Hi.
Thanks for the query to HCM Forum.
1 Bursitis may be the most common reason ( ligament infection in knee joint ) .
2 Osteoarthritis may be the next reason , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination by an orthopedic surgeon.
3 Rheumatoid arthritis may be the next reason , get in blood for R A FACTOR .
However there are so many other reasons of such pain but consultation with an orthopedic surgeon will be helpful.
Good luck.
