Patellofemoral syndrome brace, rice, pt(made it worse),do not help. what else should i ask my orthopedic surgeon about? pain>7 when just bent. help?!?

Instability : the patella joint is simple but difficult to treat. Other than patella femoral dysfunction there are other causes of pain. Instability is a possibility as well as problems with the patella or its position. Too high or too low etc
