Patellofemoral syndrome: what can i do at home to make it stop hurting?
it hurts for no reason. if i sit for a while with my knee in a certain position, or if i wear heels, my knee will hurt for days. it's so painful! i'm not running anymore because i don't want it to hurt. but now my lower back is starting to hurt as well. what is going on? i took 800mg of motrin for the inflammation, but what can i do to keep it from hurting all of the time over stupid things like my choice of shoe?

There really isn't alot you can do. I have Patello-Femoral Syndrome aswell and i find the only way to reduce swelling and pain is to ice your knees. Also if your exercising, knee braces can help with managing the pain.
