I started getting this last year and have attributed it to lots of soccer, baseball, and softball sliding and diving. I've had many scrapes from this activity and thought that certain nerves on the inside of the skin were being affected. It isn't a problem with joint or swelling or even lack of range of movement. But, when I heard nerve contusion that made some sense. I may see a doctor for this.

I have this too. Like others, I'm sorry there is no answer, but pleased to know I'm not alone.

I have the same kneecap problem Im 53 and bending doesn't bother it just anything touching that area or moving that knee against anything...I wish someone would let us know what it is so we know how to treat it

me too, but only when I kneel to the left (like to pick up something). It feels like a carpet burn. I had a broken knee 10 years ago and had it fixed by a top surgeon, so this happening now all of a sudden is baffling. I play tennis every day and it doesn't effect that at all, but when I lean to the right on it, it is excruciatingly painful

Yes, I have exactly the same thing on my left knee just to the outside left of the knee cap. Sort of a soft spot there but feels like a cartpet burt when pressure is on it. It just started about a week ago. I hope is isn't the start of shingles or something. I did injure the ACL about 20yrs ago and it had some water on it that was never drained. I just stayed off of it for a while and kept it elevated till it went away. Did anyone find out what the heck it is?

That sounds like you stretched your sciatic nerve. I had that burning pain down the side of my calf when I injured the ACL in my knee. It slowley went away and took about a month! If I were you, I would take vitamins that treat nerves to make it heal faster.

I am having the same exact problems it started about 2 months ago and is getting worse.

Thanks. I started having this pain and burning for a week or so. Sharp pain if I kneel on a certain part of my knee cap and a burning feeling around the side. Then I remembered I banged my leg into something really hard about a weeks or so ago. I couldn't remember if it was my knee, but I am pretty sure it was. At the time it hurt a lot but then I forgot about it until this started. I am going to wait it out. I guess I won't be able to get on my knees to pray about it:)

I, too, started experiencing the "carpet burn" feeling in my left knee. There is usually no discomfort or pain, but I do get the "carpet burn" sensation when I am wearing long pants. My doctor said that I am doing something, like gardening, that is compressing a group of nerves in my knee. But I had not been gardening or kneeling. I watched what I was doing and finally discovered the cause: When I drive for long periods of time, my knee presses against the driver's side door just under the armrest. Driving for several hours with my knee vibrating against the door was the cause. I also noticed that when I am a passenger, the same part of my left knee presses against the stick shift console. I have stopped this bad habit and am slowly losing the carpet burn sensation. I wonder if people in the UK feel the sensation on their right knees. Hope this helps.

Well, after 6 pages and still nobody having a clue as to what it is, I'm creating a name for it:
Rug Burn Knee Syndrome
I've got all the symptoms described previously. Started out after kneeling on concrete at work, on my left knee. Felt like burning/rug burn 'under' the skin. No visible signs on the skin. All 'appears' normal. Bending my knees (especially bending down QUICKLY) causes the burn to come back. Now my right knee is doing it.
My right knee is even worse now. If I lightly tap the inside of me on something hard (liek the darn coffee table) I get a SHOOTING pain on the OUTSIDE of that knee.
So I imagine it's probably nerve damage on both knees.
