After injections and pt for patellofermoral doesn't work what is left to relieve pain and problems with knee and leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scope or gel shots: If the above treatments havent been successful, you may need to consider an arthroscopic procedure which may require a lateral release which may help your pain from the patellofemoral joint also another option might be do consider viscosupplementation shots such as synvisc or orthovisc.
