I do not know: Without an exam it is tough to tell the severity of your knee injury. Get eval if the pain persists.

Chondromalacia: Chondromalacia can occur from direct trauma. Sounds like symptoms from your knee cap. Usually responds to therapy. Need an eval to see how serious.

Lateral knee pain for 6 weeks after running, but not during. Treated for ITBS, but not healing. Something else? rested and cross trained. I did PT and strengthening too. Stairs hurt and walking fast, but doctors say looks good structurally.
