Sitting in a chair, if you put some pressure on the back of your knee with your hand, does it hurt? Does it hurt just to stand or only when there is the added pressure of taking or landing steps?

I was getting onto a step of a garbage truck.... my knee was bent and i was pushing myself up onto the step with that knee. There is a little bit of swelling, no black and blues tho. If I press hard enough around the top of the kneecap there is a slight pain but thats about it. And yes, it hurts when Im adding pressure of taking and landing steps, primarily jumping onto the truck's step and bending down to grab stuff like a bundle of papers.
