Those are the same exercises my physiotherapist gave to me.

@sonatak304 I don't know whether that's a good thing for you or not?

I had a basketball injury 13 years ago in high school and my knee cap dislocated. Eventually had to have arthroscopic surgery to clean out all the loose cartilage under my kneecap. My quad muscles around my knee cap are visibly smaller than my other muscles on the other leg. My knees hurt 24/7. My knees are SO loud- they crunch when I go up and down stairs. I feel as though I need the surgery again to get rid of the loose cartilage, I think it is prohibiting me from fully exercising. Thoughts?

@kkelly1235 I think you should start exercising in the pool first. Outside of the pool start with isometrics, or if you exercise with a full range of motion, go very, very slow. Concentrate on contracting the muscle. You need to build strength to help support the joint. Start with partial motions or limited range of motion first. Go slow, keep excellent form. Maybe get an MRI. Ice for 10 minutes after every workout.

Hey John, I am 26 and a pro contemporary dancer.I have been having knee pain for about 3 months. I have been dancing on it since the mid Jan, modifying as much as I was allowed, but no resting time until 2 weeks ago. They have been treating it as chondromalcia (without MRI) but I think it might be PFS. I know the symptoms of the 2 are similar, but FDS makes sense.There was no tramatic injury to my knee. I had a pronation injury in the past which makes me think PFS is a possibility, any advice?

@thearjones838 Sorry about your condition. Maybe you just did too much. I'm not sure what you're asking. I filmed all these videos that offer advice. Have you tried any of it?

@thesadfish I'm sorry about your pain. Try some ice baths before and after you exercise.
