A member asked:
What exercises will help me cure my patellofemoral pain syndrome and how long should it take if i've been suffering from it in both legs for 8 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strengthen: Work on your quads (muscles in front thighs)- squats, lunges, frog jumps, etc., and your core- abs and back. Exercises that use your own body weight ("closed chain") are better than machines. You may find that initially it bothers you a bit more. Start slowly. Consider a session with a trainer or physical therapist at first to make sure your form is good, so you don't injure yourself.
