Pain in the kneecap, also known as patella pain is one part of patellofemoral knee pain syndrome. Every year, more and more clients come in grumbling of generalized pain around the kneecap (patella) aggravated by activities such as squatting, stair climbing, or hiking over hilly terrain. Symptoms typically worsen during prolonged knee flexion (i.e., long car rides, sitting in class or in a movie theater). This article by Erik discusses the condition in depth.
