Right knee pain
Pain just below the right knee cap (just to the outside of center), on the bone, while under strain like squatting down.
Pain is accompanied by a loss of strength from the leg being bent 135 degrees through about 170. Standing without assistance or using the other leg for most of the work is impossible.
Tightness around the knee during rest and most of the time pressing on the area feels like pressing on a bruise.
My feet turn out severely.
Had MRI, Ortho surgeon sees no issues in the knee.

This could be a case of patellar tendinitis. The patellar tendon gets inflamed due to overuse, stress or malalignment. This could be due to extrinsic or intrinsic factors. You can visit a good physiotherapist to help reduce the inflammation and work on strengthening the underworking muscles once the inflammation comes down. Ultrasound and Eccentric loading exercises will help to solve this problem.
