Jumpers Knee?

recently, my knee has been feeling weaker and giving me discomfort. After doing some research I found that the closest thing to what I am experiencing is jumpers knee except I am not feeling a lot of pain right below the knee cap just mild pain and discomfort. I am sixteen and play a lot of basketball. I dont know if the pain will worsen or even if I have it. Just some input would help.

Also I sprained my knee 5 months ago. Don't know of that has anything to do with it but just tell me what you think.
Thanks

Jumpers knee responds to rest, ice, and NSAID's.  Once the symptoms are gone, you can start on a quad strengthening program to prevent recurrance.
