Knee pain- stretching straight& bending
I am 37 years old and 95kgs. Recently gained weight because of a new medication side effects. Gabapentin&Lyrica for my other concern.I have knee pain since 2019. No injuries or accident. Suddenly one day right knee got swollen a bit and severe burning type pain. Like firing in the right side of right knee. Lateral part. It went down the calf. Went to doctor and had x-ray,MRI. X-ray shows patella subluxation. MRI shows patella alta.Dr said it's PFPS as diagnosis.
Dr referred to physical therapy. Did lots of PT. No changes and pain was same burning. Hurts more when leg is stretched while sleeping and bending. Didn't go to PT after pandemic started. Got other severe pain in jaw& neck and couldn't check know after that. Burning in knee reduced a bit. But still sometimes it triggers up and burns a lot. It hurts while climbing the stairs. I can't kneel down on this knee. It hurts to bend down and can't sit cross.
Is PFPS comes with burning pain? I l have burning pain daily. Is PFPS curable?
