Cartilage and fascia: Pain that feels like it is under the knee cap can come from worn cartilage, and also from the muscles and fascia on the inside of the thigh down toward the knee joint. To repair worn cartilage, learn to decrease your wear and tear, and increase speed of cartilage growth. For the muscles, feel for what is tender and massage it. www.blatmanhealthandwellness.com.
