Thank you! Based on your answers, here is what your symptoms may indicate:

While only a physical exam and imaging (like an X-ray or MRI) can provide a definitive diagnosis, your symptoms generally fall into one of the following categories:

Older man and woman stretching on grass

Profile C: Overuse or Tracking Issues (Potential Runner’s Knee or Tendonitis)

If you feel: 

  • Pain located primarily at the front of the knee or under the kneecap.
  • Increased pain when climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods.
  • Dull, aching pain rather than a sharp “locking” sensation.

What this means: This often indicates Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome or Tendonitis. It is usually caused by the kneecap not tracking properly or inflammation of the tendons. Many of these cases respond exceptionally well to specialized physical therapy.

Next Steps: Don’t let the pain become permanent.

Regardless of which profile fits you best, persistent knee pain rarely resolves itself without a targeted plan. Early intervention can often mean the difference between a simple repair and a more complex procedure later. Call (812) 945-5633 to request an appointment or click below to book online.
