I have chondromalacia patella in my right knee and it surely hurts a lot however i?m getting physiotherapy sessions at the moment and I feel better but I wanted to know if this will affect my sex life, will I have any pain post sexual activity or do I need to have any precautions?

Lie down with one leg bent at a 90-degree angle with the foot flat on the floor and the other leg fully extended. Tighten the quadriceps (thigh muscle) of the straight leg and raise it to a 45-degree angle. Hold the leg in this elevated position for a second or two before slowly lowering it back to the ground. You may require 4-6 weeks of physical therapy treatment, and then several more months of a home stretching and strengthening program to treat your chondromalacia patella. Getting the pain and inflammation under control is the first step.
