PFOS is marked by pain at the front of the knee around the patella. Contributing factors may be muscle imbalance, changes in exercise intensity, wearing non supportive shoes, or excessive hiking/stairclimbing. Treatment includes rest during flare-ups, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories), ibuprofen, and special exercises by a physical therapist. Surgery is a last resort treatment.

You should be evaluated by an orthopedist and if you did but you are not satisfied, you can seek a second opinion.

This condition is very common with women because of your wider pelvis than men thus creating a larger Q angle. Custom orthotics are very beneficial in this condition that are made by a podiatrist
