What can a pain management doctor do for chondromalacia with effusion. i have a nsaids allergy. and also tried injections already. ?

See Allergist: In the absence of cartilage damage, pain at the front of the knee due to overuse can be managed with a combination of RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), anti-inflammatory medications, and physiotherapy. True NSAID allergy very rare so see Allergist to confirm so that this class of medications becomes available to you.
