hi, I'm looking for some help managing my chronic pain and to ask for some advice on my knee condition. I was told it could ne chondro malacia patallae around four years ago and have have multiple physiotherapists tell me that's not what it is while the doctors say it is. none of my physio is working and I've been told to just use crutches to get around when I'm unable to walk. I also have back pain from a historic injury, which is made worse by having to accommodate my knees. I've not yet had any scans. is it worth asking for a orthopaedic consultant and an MRI to find out what the problem is? thanks!
