I am 23 years old man. I was an active sportsperson (football and athletics) in my school and college days. Now I hav a severe pain in my left knee. Its more evident when climbing up stairs and when kneeling or sitting down. After consulting 5 orthopaedic doctors and doing Mri I am diagnosed with chondromalacia patella. Its been more than a year but no major improvement. It would be great if you you could help.

Sir, we have many option for you - for your knee pain - go for janu basti, localised massgae with herbal oils, localised medicated steam, pottali massage. Continue these procedures for atleast 15 days. These procedures will relax your knee muscles along with patella and give strength to your nerves and muscles of back. Also start some yogic exercises - tadasana, dhanurasan, halasana along with these therapies. These all would give strength to your knee and reduce the pain and stiffness. This will greatly help. Although some herbal medicines might also help you but after proper history taking.
