What Causes Swelling And Tenderness In Patellar Region And Pain In Hip?

I have patellar tendinitis in my left knee my full patellar region is quite badly swollen... I have been experiencing severe tenderness to the middle of the patellar also to the back of my leg central to the patellar...
I also have quite a bad pain in my hip once I sit in a certain position could this be a missed fracture of the patellar tendon?
