Anterior knee pain begins at the front and center of the knee when the kneecap does not move properly and rubs against the lower part of the thigh bone. The pain can be relieved by keeping knee in the rest position for short span of time and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are other things also we can do to relieve the anterior knee pain such as:
- Maintain weight.
- While performing activity, wear the correct running or sports shoes.
- If needed, realign your kneecap by taping the knee.
- Change the way you exercise.
- Need to strengthen and stretch the quadriceps and hamstring muscles.
- Use special shoe inserts and support devices if you have flat feet.
Sometime, surgery is suggested to relieve the pain behind the kneecap. During the surgery:
- Damaged cartilage may be removed.
- Tendons are realigned to help the kneecap move properly.
- Realignment of kneecap may be done for better joint movement.
