Chondromalacia patella
Hi, For the past 3 months am suffering from right knee pain. I took Xray and MRI which came out stating I have grade 1 chondromalacia patella with a mild ACL tear. I am currently under medication. But am afraid if there might be other serious issues like cancer.. does MRI detect cancer. Should I be worried or can I continue Chondromalacia patella treatment?

For chondromalacia patellae, it's just cartilage mild damage on patella bone in knee. No cancer related , nothing to worry about it. Continue medication appropriately, I also suggest to go ahead for physiotherapy and stop sport activities temporarily. If pain is increasing, get MRI done to know grade of chondromalacia patellae. More than grade 3, u can go for knee joint injections of growth factor which will help you in regrowth of damaged cartilage region
