Pain Below the Knee Cap and in Front of the Knee With Walking and Running

In this part of my knee pain Theramine Review series, I'm going to talk about patellofemoral pain syndrome. A rose is still a rose by another name; whether it's patellar arthralgia, patellofemoral tracking disorder or patellar malalignment subluxation, they're the same.

To fully appreciate your knees and understand the pathology of patellofemoral pain syndrome, you need to know how your knees work. So, put the kids to bed and pop open a couple of brewskies.

The entire quadriceps muscle and patellar tendon are anchored to the knee cap. Your knee cap (patella), sits above a femoral sulcus. When you bend and extend your knees such as walking or going up and down the stairs, the knee cap glides up and down along a groove. When you sit down and enjoy that brewskies, I mean milk, the patella slowly sinks back into the sulcus. And when you get up from sitting down for a while, the knee cap has to unlock itself to get out of the sulcus before sliding up the femoral groove.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome does not come over night, even though you may recently experience pain, swelling or clicking below the knee cap, on the side of the knee or in the thigh with squatting, going up and down the stairs or getting up after sitting for a while. It takes time to develop patellofemoral pain syndrome. And by the time it's diagnosis, there's already some wear and tear thinning of the cartilage underneath the knee cap from repetitive the grinding stress and abnormal tension on the patella.
