Patella pain

[tmike820]

I've been having trouble for a few months now with Patella pain. Had a MRI done all the Dr. recommended was to massage the area and use ice packs. It was in my right leg mostly but now my left knee is starting to have the same trouble. Any help from the board would be appreciated. Can bad shoes cause this??

Try insoles.

You got flat feet?

I do, and struggled with patellar tendinitis in both knees for a year before i got back on track.

the verdict?

 The verdict is that the stretching is helping, I'm making progress! As far as insoles, I've tried a few with not so great results. actually... the last pair made things worse they were high in the heel and it caused More pain than I normally experience.

Hey bro I also have had the same the problem in the past year did you get the are scoped by your doc?  What about scar tissue.  I recommend that you monitor this closely cause the injury can still be active even if pain is dormant.  My situation is a bit worse and I have elected to take platelet rich injections to aide in healing the the tendon.  I wish you the best with recovering from your injury
