Bone bruising of femural lateral condyle

[roco42]

Thanks for the quick reply,
The radiologist was told to look out for signs of chondromalacia and found there was no signs of it. All my symtoms do point to patellofemural pain. I'm resting and icing the injury at the moment and doing some non impact training like swimming and cycling. I'm going to start a stretching regime now too. Is there anything more i can do? Any idea how long it will take for me to get back playing football?

Hi roco42,

some people will take at least 6 weeks or more eps. for those who have re-injured the site then that's not so good either. Be patient. You have to check out the range of motion and the strength of your quadriceps and make sure you do a lot of stretching. A good re-assessment done by your physio will let you know how you progress with your knee.

Take care!!!
