Thanks ginger, i wanted to explain my history but it is quite long, please bear with me. I had this condition a 1.5 years ago when i played basketball for long periods of time. I usually play basketball about 2 times a week and in those days, I played up to 6 hours with some rest but i never sat down to rest(I stood). I also want to note that my methods of playing is punishing to the knees with agility runs and constant high jumps. The pain initially was the lower knee cap where it continued to inflame and my knees will make a shiver (shakeness). I would claim this was grade 1 or 2 and my first physio told me to do eccentric exercises, cycling, and use sports tape (which helped a lot). The sports tape pushed up the kneecap and I assume less fat impingement less inflammation. At this stage, pain was only evident in the bottom knee cap. It can get slightly sharp but nothing to scream about.

Ok... after exercising continuosly for a year in the gym and feeling confident, I chose to take up competitive basketball. Apparently the more distances i ran the worst it became. It get's inflammed, I iced it and basketball time soon became a 30 minute thing. The later result of my ignorance inabled me to climb stairs and walk or stand more than 15 minutes. Inflammation was everywhere, from upper calves to lower quads which is basically and like a flammed fibre connecting my calves and quads. Pain is also evident on the whole circumference of knee cap. Bearable sharp pains below knee cap.

Yes knee pain increases exponentially if I push my legs to run or walk further than the limit. My limit now is 30 minutes walk. Climbing up hills, stairs are the bane of my legs. I would presume this is jumpers knee but doc says my tendon fibres are fine. I have not gone under any surgery at all and I have no pains at anywhere besides my knees. I however agree there is something impinging the fat pad.

Sorry for the long essay but I can't really explain it short. Thanks a lot man.
