no one here can diagnose, any medical problem over the net, not even a doctor, but I quit doing compound movements because I have the same problem, im diagnoced with tendanitus.. I have it everywhere almost now and its keeping me out of the gym 24/7. also coudl be water in the knee, more rare but easily fixed, u should be able to feel for a water pocket if thats the problem. basically for me I was advised to takin motrin 800mg every 8 hours, or 3 times per day. just to help the inflamation, try giving your legs a break and try this out for 3 or so weeks see if it helps out, also increase the h20, and consider a glucosamine supplement.

ps, 3 weeks into a deca cycle started to improve this big time for me, atleast where I could leg press again pain free.

sounds like patellar tendonitis. Take some time off and make sure you stretch your quads/hams very well everyday. From experience I find that knees are pretty sensitive to muscle imbalances and its very easy for quads to get stronger and pull the knee out of place a little.
I had very similar symptoms and I took a week off stretched it out very well and as long as I stay on top of my stretching it isn't a problem.
