A member asked:
While step down and squating i feel lot of pain in my knees. is it osteo arthritis or patelo femoral? what should i do
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably both: Squatting down puts a lot of pressure on the patellafemoral joint, and the most common cause of pain in that area is a condition known as chondromalacia which is often associated with degerstive arthritis. There are many treatment options open, don't hesitate to be seen.
