What Causes Severe Knee Pain?
I am getting moderate pain in the front of both, just below the knee on the nobbly bit below the patella, at the top of the tibia. It is a little sore when pressed on and made worse by moderate to strenuous exercise, such as cycling, or when carrying heady load

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This is tendonitis of the patellar tendon, an overuse syndrom from your activities.
I suggest you rest some, use ice therapy locally, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication and knee brace for protection.
It will get better in few weeks.
