Runner’s knee is a common LAYPERSON term used to describe a variety of running-related disorders that can impact the knee such as Patellar TENDONITIS, Patellofemoral pain, Chondromalacia. The term is vague so I don’t use the term too often because it doesn’t give a runner a true idea of what they have and how to treat it. TREATMENT for all the conditions referenced earlier is different, so if you are having SEVERE knee pain, I recommend you SCHEDULE an appointment with your Sports Medicine physician.
