unusual knee pain

[zanderman1985]

hi there, I have had my knee pain for 6 years. It started with an ACL tear and then I didn't leave it alone and now according to my last physio everything is fine but I'm still experiencing alot of pain and restriction of movement. After exercise it swells up on the inside posterior of my right knee, and according to my physio I now have a bit of bone which has formed on the inside of my knee which wasn't there before and is quite big and looks like swelling but he also says this is nothing to worry about.

any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, especially the bone growth, I didn't think that was possible

my background: I played alot of sports when I was younger - hockey for 12 years, cycling since I was 8, football for six years everyday, if any of this helps.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome refers to pain at the front of the knee. It is also called anterior knee pain.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome occurs when the patella does not move or 'track' in a correct fashion when the knee is being bent and straightened. This movement can lead to damage of the surrounding tissues, such as the cartilage on the underside of the patella itself, which can lead to pain in the region. This injury is quite common in people who do a lot of sport, and adolescent girls

Patellofemoral knee pain can also occur following a knee injury, if the muscles of the quadriceps (especially VMO) considerably weaknened.
