Knee pain: Follow up with your doctor. May be patellofemoral syndrome, meninscus tear, tendonitis, arthritis.Rest ( usually weeks) ,ice, elevation, kinesiotape, brace may help but follow up with your doctor.An xray will note arthritis, patellofemoral syndrome MRI is usually needed for meniscal tears/ tendinosis/nitis. Follow up with your doctor.
