My knee muscle has been hurting but I don't know what is the exact injury, what should I do?

It isn't my knee actually. It's around the top left of my knee cap, I can't describe it because I'm unsure of it. Sometimes it feels like the place that connects the muscle to the knee cap hurts, sometime it feels like it's the muscle. I've been stressing out looking around articles to find what exactly is it but I can't find any. The pain has greatly reduced but still are there when I kneel or do single leg stand up, the pain is around the muscle of the top left knee cap on my right knee. It is really close to the knee cap. I doubt it is the tendon because I saw the anatomy of the quad tendon it is right above the knee cap but for my case it is more towards the top left of my right knee. I do not know how I hurt it, I didn't have any major injuries but I play basketball often, maybe it is the reason?

    You need to see an orthopedic surgeon for a diagnosis.  My wife has always thought she had knee problems after falling a lot from two strokes.  All the imaging was negative.  Turned out to be quad tendon.  See a SPORTS ortho surgeon.
