Get evaluated: Patello-femoral knee pain (pain behind the knee cap) can have multiple causes including but not limited to trauma, infection, and neoplasm. Patello-femoral pain can be very common and some rest, NSAIDS, and therapy are usually helpful. A thorough history and physical followed by diagnostic imaging can help get the answers and treatment you might need.
