Pfs: Pfs is known as patella femoral syndrome. This is when there is irritation between the kneecap and the femur, the thigh bone. It is very common. Usually physical therapy will help a great deal. But you do need to know what to do, so make an appointment with your doc and ask for a therapy prescription.
