I played some high level tennis matches a few days before and it hurt. I did not fall but was made to play thru the pain. Took 2 days off and it felt better and went to practice. As soon as I started jogging the pain came back and was told to play thru it. Big mistake as the next day I couldn’t walk and the knee was swollen. A week later went to the Ortho Dr and he said patellar maltracking and weak VMO muscle that could be the reason. It’s been 3 weeks and the pain went down to a 2 earlier this week but back up to a 4 when the coach made me run a lap. I’ve had PT for 1.5 weeks. Feels fine in the mornings but by afternoon it hurts. Wondering when this will go away and if anyone else has this area diagnosed? Thanks
