My Weight Loss Journey

PFS
Mood:  chillin'
Hey, so I found out I have PFS (Patellofemoral Syndrome). I remember as a kid, I had some knee pain and the doctor would give me exercises to do. As an adult I get knee pain. I went to doctors before and they kept telling me there was nothing wrong. Well, I went to a GOOD doctor and they told me of PFS. Basically one muscle in my knees is stronger than the one on the other side so it pushes my knee one way and it makes it hurt. Sitting for long periods of time can cause extreme discomfort. It also causes pain while doing physical activity. I have been shown some exercises to strenthen the muscles. I was advised that losing weight will also help. It is not particularly caused by being overweight. I thought it was. I am glad some doctors are there to help!
