Diagnosed with pfps almst 3yrs ago been to os and going to pt not helping. lately been getting worse and hurts more when rainy. is it right diagnosis?

Possibly you may be: Having a subluxating patella, which is a common condition in young girls. The DX can be difficult in girls with subtle signs. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, after other common conditions are excluded. See your orthopod again and ask him about it. Pt can help and with using a patellar brace + pain meds like nsaids. Good luck.
