conrumulitasia trying to figure out how to spell properly, and what the treatment is.(a knee related problem)


Question:


Answers:
i think you are looking for chondromalasia or chondromalacia (i have seen it spelled both ways)

for acute pain, rest, ice, compression and elevation can help (over the counter knee brace or ace bandage for compression).use of an over the counter anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen is also a help.

there are lots of treatments-starting with physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles, glucosamine, injections of various substances into the knee, and surgery.

stop activities that make it feel worse-high impact excercises like running only increae the damage to the knee.

Other Answers:
check the dictionary or the doctor office.
