I have had knee pain for several years. I was first diagnose with Osgood schlatters in both knees. I had a recent MRI and Xray. MRI findings say minimally increased t2 signal indictive of edema is noted within the suprapatellar fat pad wich aperas mildly thickened. This may be seen in anterior impingement (quadriceps fat pad impingment syndrome. I saw a Orthopidics doctor that told be to try another knee brace and do more physical thearapy. I had thearapy before with no luck. Im still in pain and just seems to get worse every week. They don t think I need surgery. IM at a loss on what to do.

Avoiding steps and using western style toilets etc. would be helpful. Loose body formation can be due to disease process Chen Chat Doctor. Hope this answers your query.
