Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Infra patellar pain: How old are you? If you are skeletally mature the most common problem in that area is patellar tendinitis or tendinosis. If just starting an antiinflammatory for 5 days and icing can help. If longer than 6 weeks probably not inflamed. See a sports medicine physician for a good kinetic chain eval and advise on treatment.
