Suggest Treatment For Chondromalacia Patella Causing Severe Knee Pain
I have been going to physical therapy for 5 weeks now three times a week. this is because of knee pains that are on the outside and a patella tilt. the doctor had put me on naproxin for the pain. well yesterday she had told me to stop P.T. and she had scheduled an MRI. because nothing was getting better only worse. she had mention chondromalacia... I m 18 and getting ready to start school. is surgery in the future.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it is all depend upon the test result of MRI, without the complete clinical examination and history it can not be predict anything but looking to your age it could come around with medical treatment alone, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
