Treatment
How is patellofemoral pain syndrome treated?
Your doctor can recommend treatments to reduce symptoms. For example, over-the-counter pain medicine, such as ibuprofen, can decrease swelling and pain. A physical therapist can teach you exercises to stretch and strengthen your legs. Taping or using a knee brace can stabilize the kneecap. If these don't help, you and your doctor may choose surgery.
