If there is dull pain in the inside, below, and on both sides of the knees, and:
- makes a faint pain when bent, sometimes there is a feeling of "friction".
- Sitting for a long time and standing for a long time, the pain will worsen when going down the stairs.
- Press kneecap feels pain and swelling.
These are all symptoms of patellar erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erect However, if not treated in time, it will gradually develop into chronic knee pain, chronic inflammation causes cartilage softening and decomposition, and eventually lead to knee arthritis, which will be difficult to reverse. An artificial knee replacement may eventually be required.
How does it happen?
Patellar erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile erectile er When the patella moves normally, it moves up and down in a track called a trolley, which is located on the thigh bone. If the patella is subjected to abnormal force, pulling it to the left or right, and pressing it too much on the thigh bone, it will cause excessive friction, causing inflammation and pain.
What causes it?
- Overuse: For example, when running, the patella keeps sliding up and down the trolley. Any slight deviation can increase friction, lead to inflammation, and may begin to feel pain in the knees without realizing it, and involve a variety of exercises. When excessive exercise, incorrect exercise posture can occur, especially during running and jumping exercises.
- Muscle imbalance: The muscles of the thigh (mainly quadriceps , composed of four muscles) control the movement of the patella. If there is an imbalance, one muscle has a stronger tension than the other, causing the patella to deviate from normal track and create friction.
- Direct strike or trauma : Knee cap injury can also cause inflammation.
How to treat
Patellar mercury is divided into four levels, from cartilage softening to erosion, thinning, and finally the bones are completely exposed. If discovered in time, the following conservative therapy can be treated:
- Rest/ice compress: The main purpose is to relax and eliminate inflammation.
- Avoid certain activities: According to the doctor's requirements, avoid some activities and postures that aggravate the symptoms, such as under weight bearing, knee stretching, lunges and squats.
- Drug treatment: NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen can reduce inflammation and pain in the knee.
- Braces and Binding: There are many different types of binding methods and Braces are used to treat chondromouthemia. It should be noted that some should not be worn at night or during rest, otherwise it will cause blood circulation disorders and swelling of the feet and ankles.
- Stretching exercise: Experienced doctors can diagnose which muscle caused the patella to deviate and develop specific exercise plans to correct imbalance.
Can patellar erectosis be cured?
If the damage to the cartilage surface has been involved, it will be difficult to reverse. However, some conservative therapies or joint injections can be used to control the symptoms, and they can even remain asymptomatic. If they have developed to the late stage, surgery to prune and wear or crack cartilage may be performed, which will work for some patients, but cannot be completely cured. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are particularly important.
