I was diagnosed with chondromalacia patella 4 years ago, but after physio, the diagnosis was changed to anterior knee pain. I had a call with my gp today and she said the condition wouldn't be causing the symptoms I am experiencing (especially as physio doesn't help). I get swelling, severe pain flare ups and difficulty walking. I often have to use crutches and painkillers to get around and struggle with stairs and slopes. my gp said I'll need to be referred to orthopedics to find cause. anyone have any ideas what it could be?
