Hi, Sorry you went through a LR. Those generally don't do very well. I am a PT and have work with patients after that surgery. I hate to say it but this issue around having a misaligned patella may not be at all assocaited with your pain. Many people have the same misalignment on x-ray and have no pain whatsoever. Unfortunately the issue is much more complicated than taking a simple sunrise view x-ray and thinking that is the issue. First, I would recommend avoiding ALL painful activity. Second, I would investigate your biomechanics.....flat feet? weak hips? These are frequently a cause. Finally, check out these two sites and see if the information (one on ITB syndrome and one on knee cap pain) can help: http://www.joint-pain-solutions.com/knee-cap-pain.html and http://www.joint-pain-solutions.com/it-band-syndrome.html Good luck

I have had kneepain for over 2 years now (left knee). I have a misaligned knee (subluxed patella and shallow trochlear groove) and had a scope (LR) 9 months ago to prevent dislocations. The LR failed. But apart from the malalignment problem I also have pain on my lateral femur condyle. The pain increases while running and after running, walking stairs, walking up&donwhill, getting in&out of the car, squatting, cycling, kneeling, swimming... My OS says it's because of the malalignment I keep having this pain and suggested a Fulkerson. I've looked it up on the net and seems my symptoms match ITBsyndrome. I can't ignore the fact I have a misaligned knee, but could it be ITB? I've had 4 cortizone shots which all give me some relief but within 6 weeks pain reoccurs. Resting doesn't get it better. Help??
