Brief Answer:
Chondromalacia patella
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
In chondromalacia you may need to wear knee supports/knee brace. Wear shoes that have an arch as it will support the knees also. Rest the leg until inflammation has subsided. Avoid movements that make it worse. Get radiological tests done under guidance of an orthopedic practitioner to find exact diagnosis.
