Diagnosed with chondromalacia patella 10 years ago. after straining my back, my knee has been acting up. it's popping under the kneecap when i walk, hurts to squat and bottom of kneecap hurts when sitting. what can i do for this flare up?

Take OTC NSAID such as ibuprofen or naproxen for a couple days if you do not have stomach problem, ice pack as needed for pain, use knee brace for activities which exacerbate the pain then resuming daily patellofemoral pain syndrome exercises. Good luck.
