Patella femoral syndrome that never goes away
I am in my late 20's and have had severe knee pain since my late teens. I was originally diagnosed with patella femoral syndrome four years ago, got a patella brace, and well nothing has improved. X-rays this year confirmed that my kneecaps are straight rather than grooved, and that they track. Also, lots of cracking and painful grinding. My last visit to the orthapaedist was a let down. I was told to curb my lifestyle and that nothing could be done other than realigning my ligaments and muscles.Most of the stuff that I read about this syndrome says this is a problem that comes and goes, my problem is constant and daily. I would like to hear from people who have dealt with this problem effectively. Currently, I have braces, orthotics, and regular muscle stimulation at physio.
