    • This pan can begin gradually and is frequently activity-related. Symptoms can include pain during exercise, pain after prolonged periods of sitting, pain related to a change in activity, or catching/clicking in the front of the knee with activities.

    How do we evaluate a patient with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)?

    I will begin with a physical examination in the office to include x-rays.

    The goal of that exam is to rule out other issues in the knee that can also cause pain (meniscal cartilage and ligament tears or instability for example). An MRI may be ordered if your symptoms do not improve with physical therapy and home exercise over time.
