dear Campells7,

you have already had some good suggestions.
I will add a few.
Girls her age are in the middle of a growth spurt.
Many girls with knee function problems have been found to also have weak external rotators of the hip.

Advice for your daughter so far:
- she should refrain from any action that causes pain
- not sit with knees fully bent for long periods of time
- not passively extend her knees, feet on table and knees unsupported at all.

A good therapist is your best bet. Trust your gut feeling as a parent. A good health professional should understand your worry and appreciate your imput. They should do a proper assessment and then treat. If you, or your daughter do not trust your health professional, try finding another.

I realize that being in another country, with a different culture, doesn´t make it easier. Good luck to you all.

Esther
