Another Syndrome! Patellofemoral!

I went to see the Physical Therapist at Beth Israel this afternoon for evaluation.  She checked out why I was having so much pain in my knee that is affecting the rest of my right leg, especially the thigh and hip area.

After the examination, she told me about Patellofemoral Syndrome.  My kneecap is out of alignment, thanks to that car accident I had back in December 2004.  It is hard to spot in x-rays and MRIs.

The next step is to do stretching exercises for thighs and calves and meet with the PT once a week for the next few weeks.

I am glad I finally know what's wrong with my right knee.
