Was the pain you were being "treated" for CM? Incidentally, I also find that antidepressants (specifically Effexor) don't help at all with pain. One...

Every doc I go to defines chondromalacia patellae differently. See if you can get an MRI. That might throw some light on the subject, although it's not the...
hi ann, I have been to 4 orthopedic docs. they all agree that I have no damage to my cartilage and that all i have is pain due to malalignment of my knee caps....
Someone posted some good exercises for strengthening the VMO (to pull the kneecap medially -- I'm assuming yours is being pulled laterally?) just a week or so...

don't think anyone here has had that....there was some talk about it a few weeks ago. there's links in those posts. grade 5? not familiar with that. scale...
My experience has also been that doctors don't know what to do about CP. For some reason they think it's OK to tell you you just have to live (as a cripple)...
Well ive used the tape but find a gel band really does do the job. you have to give it a chance to work over a few weeks but it really does help the pain Jean ...

Stephanie: I don't see how a doctor can diagnose you with CP without XRays and possibly an MRI. Keep your appointment with your doc, get a referral to a good...

My surgeon, who did a lateral release on me for painful IT band in 1996 has now essentially thrown me to the dogs. He did, however, kind of mumble under his...
I've never heard of a fasciotomy. I know what the fascia is, and I know that "otomy" doesn't mean removing it. That's as close as I can get. What exactly...
OK, it's been 6 weeks or so since I had my 3 Synvisc injections (into my R. knee). I see no change. He did say it can sometimes take as long as 6 weeks to...
