Unlikely: As a former patient that suffered from this, i needed rest and a knee brace with a patellar cut-out. Also, running on flat surfaces (treadmill) does not exacerbate. If the MRI is clear, you can ask about possible braces like this: http://www.Advancedbrace.Com/ortho-catalog/knee/bioskin/universal_buttress.Htm.
