I had issues with my knee that went away. The doctor said it was from a tear or from the knee cap floating.

Its been at least two years since any severe pain. With my recent weightloss I can tuck my heel in further because of well..smaller thighs.
What I mean by that is I always curl up in chairs with one leg up so that it is parallel to the chest. Upon extension I get crazy pain. Like it makes my face flushed and fades. If I feel the muscles around the knee the feel stringy like sprain but soften much more easily with massage. It is not a cramp though. If I deep breath it flushes out the pain.
So I guess my question is:
Is this normal adjustment or what?
The only time it hurts is when I have it bent and then straiten. My knee cap no longer floats (due to PT) I do not have heat or swelling in that area.
I thought it was a tendon health issue because my arms were doing the same thing with the tendon strings that wrap over the fingers and hand but they are better now. I think the were swollen from me increasing what they had to do to improve strength. My strength has improved...so...I just wonder if its one of those things. My weight change since the pain started has only been about 5lbs lighter. (10 on a good day..lol)
As far as my personal pain threshold I have been in sports and played mostly with boys growing up so its not over-reacting. I just never had to come back to getting in shape from total scratch + injury history. I DO NOT want to deal with that again so I am very cautious about pain. I think because of my history I have ignored it and just pushed through. But I think due to age and injury it might be wiser to baby myself?
THoughts ANYONE?
