Knee cap pain
Please Help , I have had knee cap pain in both knees for many years (used to be a long distance runner and still play netball), but the pain has become chronic in the last 10 months'
I consulted my doctor, and to date I have had injections, the kneecaps taped and physiotherapy with daily exercises to improve VMO.
The pain did not improve so I was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon who has given me a diagnosis of chondromalacia patellae,and that the kneecaps are also misaligned ,the consultant told me to get on with my life and put up with the pain and stop playing netball. He is arranging for me to have MRI scans
I am now struggling with everyday activities and unable to go to work as I can not drive or sit at my desk, I am 43 and do not want to put up with this pain for the rest of my life.
Should I get a second opinion, my own doctor is totally behind me and agrees that there must be something that can be done.
Has anyone else got this condition and what did you do if all conservative measures failed. Thanks
