Plica Syndrome

[Guest guest]

Anybody have any Plica stories?<br><br>Most of my

pain is next to the knee cap, towards the inside. I

think I can feel a band of tissue at the base of the

femur on the medial side. That seems to be where the

pain is focused.<br><br>During exercise, if I start to

feel pain, I can make it go away temporarily by

massaging the area.<br><br>Does this sound like Plica

Syndrome to anyone? <br><br>Anybody have this or know

anyone who does?<br><br>Anyone know how to diagnose

this?<br><br>My OS doesn't want to believe I could have anything

other than CP and keeps talking me out of getting an

MRI.<br><br>As far as I can tell the treatment for Plica

Syndrome is the same as for CP and Patellar Tendonitis,

but I'd love to know what I've got.<br><br>Thanks in

advance,<br>Doug<br><br>P.S. - I posted something similar to this a while back

regarding Patellar Tendonitis.<br><br>P.P.S. -

exercises and stretches because you feel better. Keep us

but was never told I had

plica syndrom. I don't know if I really had the

symptoms for this because there were so many things wrong

with my knee that all the symptoms running together.

Anyway, I hope this link helps you! ~Abby
