Thanks for the feedback. It's been going on since June but I waited a few months before seeing an orthopedist. MD is not suggesting surgery - that's the last place she wants to go as CP generally is not resolved surgically. Unfortunately swimming is usually seen more as a remedy since this is more of an injury in runners and jumpers. My PT says she has never met a swimmer with this problem before.

We thought it was tendinitis until I had the MRI. But if you have stabbing pain in your kneecaps whenever you walk up or down the stairs, then it's a good idea to see a dr.
