A member asked:
An ortho recently diagnosed me with chondromalacia. other than doing pt and wearing a knee brace, is there anything else i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chondromalacia: I assume this is noted on the surfaces of the boned in the knee. Medication may be an option but this depends on how bad your symptoms are. You may want to consider Stem Cell injections as an option - do a search on Google
