A member asked:
I have a torn mpfl and i'm missing some cartilage in my knee. is it normal for it to hurt when i walk or stand?

Sure: Any type of ligament disruption can cause discomfort with walking or standing. If the pain persists, you may want to consider having the ligament repaired. Ice and avoiding the aggravating motions is also recommended. Good luck.

Yes: Both are slow to heal and a source of reduced capacity.
