I have a pain in my left knee for so long, what i have got from visiting doctors is that the muscles of my knee cant keep the balance of patella, so it touches the tibia and its scratched, i have had medications and exercises, still no use???

Knee pain: The most common cause of knee pain is simple degenerative arthritis, but this is uncommon in someone younger than 25yrs. Treatment is physical therapy, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication. Sometimes patellar re-alignment can reduce pain if the problem is misalignment of the patellar tendon.
