Chondromalacia patella cure?
I was recently diagnosed with chondromalacia patella. I've been having slight pain in both my knees while climbing stairs for 2 years now and recently it got so painful that I can't climbs stairs at all.
I was put on medication and my doctors say no MRI is necessary as of now.
My only concern is will it ever go away completely so that I could get back to my activities like I used to? Is there a permanent non surgical cure?
