Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
7. Grating Sensation
Our joints are well lubricated, and the ends of the joints are covered in soft cartilage that helps provide a soft barrier. This helps ensure that our joints can move smoothly and without the different bones coming into direct contact with each other.
Patients with patellofemoral syndrome, however, will often find that their joints don’t move quite as smoothly as they should do. Instead, they will experience a grating or grinding sensation as the joint is moved. This can be quite uncomfortable for the patient and it is something that should be seen to if it has not been already.
