So after 25 years (as long as I remember) of intermittent knee pain and 15 years after having been told that everything was alright after a quick radiography, I built up enough courage to talk about it to my amazing GP.

Turns out, I have all clinical symptoms of a Patellofemoral pain syndrome, a simple but well done radiography can confirm the diagnostic. I also learnt that my knees are hypermobile...

If this is confirmed, there's no treatment except building-up some extra muscles with a physiotherapist.

So thanks for my amazing GP and fuck the former doctors that made me scared of talking about it ever again while when it flares up, I can barely climb a flight of stairs or sit down on the floor

TIL : It's not normal to be able to move your patella in your knees when your legs are at rest

@Neha Orthopaedists don't want to stop being generally useless, unless there's an oppurtunity for surgery.
