So over the past 2 months or so I've been getting a pain in my right knee when I ride. It seems like every time I ride now it hurts a little worse. It starts about an hour into my ride then slowly gets worse. It will hurt for about 3 or 4 days after the day I ride.

The pain is located in the on the top right side of my right knee cap if you were looking at it. It almost feels like I banged it hard and it is bruised. It's really weird. The pain occurs when I bend my knee.

I haven't changed anything with my shoes or pedals since I got them 3 years ago.

I have an appointment with an orthopedic later this week, but it in the meantime it's really freaking me out. Figured I would ask hear in case anyone has had or heard of something like this.
