Likely pfs: You likely have patella femoral syndrome, a condition in which the tissue around the kneecap becomes irritated and painful. It usually responds to strengthening exercises designed to improved the way the kneecap functions. See your orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and referral to physical therapy.
