Hi doctor,I am a 27 year old male. My weight is 85 kg and height is 179 cm. About 2 years ago, I participated in a half marathon. On that day, I started feeling pain in both knees above the patella. I think in quadriceps tendon. I followed RICE and the pain went off. But, after that, whenever I do some running or exercise it again starts paining and I have to take rest for a week to reduce it. Recently, I have started going gym and doing light exercises. Even for this, it is paining very badly near and just above the patella. I feel pain while running, staircase movement and bending knees. I am not taking any medicine or medical help now. I am just using pain relieving ointment. Please help me.
Hi. Considering your symptoms and pain, I have a few points to mention. X-ray bilateral knee AP (standing), lateral and skyline patella. 1. Quadriceps pull. 2. Chondromalacia patellae. 3. Osteoarthritis. Chondromalacia Patellae. RICE, physiotherapy and medications. 1. Avoid running. 2. Follow lifestyle modification. 3. Try to lose weight and keep BMI (body mass index) below 25. Revert back with the x-ray report to an orthopaedician and traumatologist online.--->
