[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I'm not a runner but I've had patellofemoral pain since I dislocated my kneecap in my teens and it blows. I went to physical therapy where they told me I needed surgery, the orthopaedist told me I needed PT. In my case, the pain was from my loosey goosey knee cap floating over and grinding on the cartilage beneath, causing blistering in the cartilage. It literally sounded like popping bubble wrap when I would bend my knee. The only thing that helped was working with a personal trainer for a couple years who spent lots of time focusing on getting the muscles around my knee strengthened. The stronger muscles helped to make up for the weakness in the tendons and ligaments that were leading to the pain. Since getting those muscles good and strong, my knee pain has seriously decreased and no more bubble wrap noises when I bend my leg![/quote]
