I got diagnosed with patella tracking disorder and have been pain since thursday, would crutches be helpful to relieve some of the pain?

No crutches: Jessi, Sorry to hear about your pain. Typically patella tracking disorder does require crutches. Considering getting a patellofemoral knee brace which may help. Start focusing on knee strengthening once pain improves; see a physiotherapist. Consider a virtual consult for more assistance! Hope that helps!
