Treatment For Pain Inside And Below Knee Cap?
I'm 60 yrs. old, I love to play volleyball and ski. I'm experiencing knee pain, not so much as when I.m playing but when I drive (knee bent) and when I'm sleeping( except when I'm on my back). Its a trobbing pain on the inside and right below my knee cap.

hi
i appreciate the level of physical activity considering your age. now, from your description it seems you have arthritis below knee cap what we medically call patellofemoral arthritis.i would advice you to go for inj. synvisc/inj.hyalgan which are given inside the joint to increase joint fluid viscosity.
take care and feel free to contact anytime and many times.
