A member asked:
I have pain in the back of my knees when i bend them. i also feel grinding on my kneecap, but only when i put my hands to them.

Chondromalacia: Cartilage softening or fraying. Quad strengthening exercises without bending knees help. Might need to see md for antiinflammatories, physical therapy, and knee support.
