Patella Femoral pain syndrome
Hi, I have a continuous back pain and hip groin muscle pain because of the above mentioned problem now and even knee pain.
I have been told this is a problem that's not fixable by surgery but can be reduced with some exercises.
I need an advice on whether I should go for a physiotherapy or look out for a surgery.
I was a regular at Football and I'd really like to go back to playing.
Right now I can't sprint, I can run normally but not sprint.
My height is 5'11' and I'm 78 kgs, so I'm slightly over my weight but athletic.
Looking out for some serious help.

Patellofemoral syndrome can cause knee pain but it’s always related to some activities like after prolonged sitting or running or after stair climbing. It can cause some muscular pain and fatigue around thigh but not cause groin or back pain unless you were limping for quite a long time. Such pains suggest some nerve compression or irritation in your lower back (spine). Basic exercises can relieve this pain. It’s also important to rule out if your knee pain is associated to back or not.
Next Steps
Please visit nearby physiotherapist for further evaluation and guided treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid prolonged sitting.
