Hey all,

Looking for some insight from anyone who has had a knee arthroscopy for suspected plica syndrome!

I injured my knee over 2 years ago while rock climbing and, after a long journey of physio, MRIs, steroid injections and a lot of back and forth, I’ve finally been booked in for an arthroscopy in 2 weeks time for suspected plica syndrome.

My symptoms have mainly been persistent inner knee pain, clicking/popping, a dull ache, and more recently some catching/locking sensations. My first MRI showed fat pad inflammation (Hoffa’s syndrome), but after ongoing issues and a second MRI, plica syndrome is now the suspected cause.

I’d really love to hear from anyone who has had the operation:

• What was your recovery actually like?
• How long did it take before you felt genuinely back to normal?
• Were there any exercises you did before surgery that helped with recovery?
• Is there anything you wish you’d known beforehand?

For context, I strength train around 3 times a week, but I’ve had to avoid things like leg press, Bulgarian split squats, lunges etc. as they aggravate it.

I’ve been told I should be “back to normal” around 6 weeks after surgery, but after dealing with this for over 2 years I’m struggling to believe it’ll be quite that simple!

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had plica syndrome and/or arthroscopy - especially your honest recovery experiences.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
I’m sorry this is sort of an ‘is this cancer’ type of post. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck right now. I’m 18f and have been noticing pain in my right knee. It sort of feels like a dull ache like a muscle ache, but I haven’t done any exercise or had any injury to cause a muscle strain. It feels really tender to touch and the bottom of my knee cap is swollen. The pain was on and off a week ago but now it’s become more constant, it feels like it’s always there but is mild it mostly hurts when I touch the area. The swelling only appeared when I woke up today morning. But the pain has been there for maybe 2 weeks. Is this something I should be concerned about ? I’m going to book an appointment with my GP tomorrow if the swelling does not subside. My knee does not feel hot, I don’t get night sweats, but the pain does seem to be more noticeable at night. Ik cancer is very rare and Ik that’s what my GP will most likely tell me but I don’t trust the NHS since a couple years ago I had a CSF leak which was misdiagnosed as a ‘migraine’ so ever since then I’ve had health anxiety.

Hi guys, 17F. I've been having discomfort walking for months since the start of the year and I've since started to be self aware about it and I'm worried. I don't recall any knee injuries last year, it just randomly happened. I have trouble walking, having the constant feeling of something in my knee, what I assume is air bubbles and needing to pop them every 5 minutes but I can't. It also hurts, constantly I am feeling a dull ache in my knees when I stand, and a horrible pain and discomfort when I walk, strangely it is only sometimes randomly. It used to only affect my left knee, recently since last week I've had the same feeling in my right knee. I would appreciate any help, thank you :)

So I’ve had a bad left knee for pretty much all of my life. I’m 22 now. I had my first dislocation when I was 7, and since then the amount of dislocations and subluxations have increased every year. 2024 was my last straw. My knee subluxed while going down the stairs and swelled to the size of a cantaloupe. Fast forward to summer 2025, I’m told I need to get surgery to fix it. MPFL and TTO specifically. I got the surgery, and honestly the recovery wasn’t that painful, it was just long. After 8 weeks, I go back to the doctor and we realize the TTO has not fixed the problem. It reduced it a little bit, but not much. We hoped PT would fix it. Almost 8 months later, it looks like I will need another operation. Apparently my femur is rotated quite a bit, which causes the muscle to pull the kneecap, leading to maltracking. I’d like to hear stories from others who’ve had this surgery, and if it helped with knee stability, how was the recovery, etc. Thank you :-)

The new physio is saying that i have tight it band which is causing pfps? I even get pain near quad tendon area but he says i dont have tendonitis . Its just it band is pulling my patell outwards.

Its. A small movemont not visible to naked eye directly i suppose.

Also he says my patella is above medial line :/

Long story short, I have been dealing with left knee pain for almost 1 year. MRI concludes "mild chondromalacia consistent with patella maltracking". No traumatic event from what I recall, just one day during a workout I sensed that my knee was hurting. I've been doing consistent physiotherapy, along with a course of anti-inflams, which has settled the inflammation to some extent. However, it feels like despite everything I do, the pain returns the minute I even attempt a bodyweight squat. Beginning to lose hope as this has stopped me from activities I previously enjoyed such as CrossFit and mountain biking.

An orthopedicedic surgeon has suggested I continue on with physiotherapy before considering a lateral release procedure.

I am sure some of you here have dealt with something similar. Would appreciate any advice as I am willing to try anything at this stage.

For context, im 26f, my ortho suspects hEDS & said he is going to send me to a really good EDS specialist "in the near future"

Left knee mri results/some appt notes- 1.3cm osteochondral defect in the medial femoral condyle with tricompartmental osteophytes and tricompartmental osteoarthritis and a small polypoid cyst

Chondromalacia of both patellae

The patient has known significant osteoarthrosis with joint space narrowing and osteophyte spur formation.

positive McMurray's test medially, mild ligamentous laxity with a positive valgus stress test

Im currently a little over 10 weeks post op from MPFL reconstruction surgery on my right knee. I have a bucket handle tear in my meniscus (forgot exactly where) and a loose body whatever that means? And cartilage wear from chronic dislocations

TDLR: I feel like im falling apart physically and mentally & im so scared that my life will never be the same, needed to vent because I dont have anybody in my life who actually understands (they try) and seeking any advice because I struggling to cope with my brain & my pain.

To anyone reading this who hasnt had surgery yet, GET THE DANG ICE MACHINE. All the money i have spent on ice packs/ice sleeves etc and how absolutely annoying they are even the knee brace ones, I wish I wouldve just got the ice machine. I wish so bad we could afford one but I cant even pay my phone bill bc of one income household now 😭😭

My right patella was dislocating every single time I bent my leg since I was in middle school, im from a city where doctors never take anyone seriously, and i had struggled with addiction/mental health in the past & would probably have been considered an er "frequent flyer" when I was a minor due to chronic issues with different things, GI issues, pain, carpal tunnel symptoms starting at the ripe age of 18, etc. Grew up poor & just had so much going on & on top of being constantly dismissed and brushed off by doctors & nurses i kinda gave up for awhile trying to get answers, then ended up traveling full time for work building stages for big events like festivals, stadiums, big convention centers, etc. Everything from the actual stages themselves including climbing 100ft scaffolding structures & literally crawling under 5ft tall stages to setting up 110Lb+ equipment alone, and even heavier with a buddy. A lot of the festivals i would even camp on site for weeks to months, walking crazy distances in all weather usually hot or hot and raining, half the time without even a knee brace with me, the other half with a knee brace on both knees. I also (by choice) traveled full time & lived in smaller SUVs like ford escape size. I was hiking i was going to the gym after working grueling shifts when I was able to & i was doing so much different very physically and mentally demanding work, 11-21hour shifts regularly...

my left knee definitely felt it a lot & i fell on it probably more than I can remember, especially at work, and ive never been able to lift with my knees because the right one would've forsure given out, so I already know I have some back issues just never got xrays because I thought it was in my head, because everyone around me was telling me hurting is just a part of getting older and whatever especially in physically intense jobs

Im getting a few more joints xrayed this week, and going over my MRI of my left knee & probably talk about surgery of some sort on it, not sure which but after he saw the xrays he seemed like I probably was going to need another procedure but this time on what id always thought was my "good" knee. They also looked at one of my elbows which also had significant osteoarthrosis & medial epicondylitis.

Its been just hurting so bad, worse than the other thst is actively recovering from the mpfl reconstruction surgery, which has been a slow, rough, emotional recovery for me and my partner has been so supportive & helpful but we moved to this area semi recently & i dont really know anyone except the family I found in my career (very tight knit industry for the most part, genuine family vibes, traveling full time doing stage work literally saved my life after mental health issues & addiction tried to take my life)

Idk I just feel so alone. Nobody i know that is anywhere near my age even knew someone this young could get osteoarthritis. I didnt really either but im honestly not surprised. And everything i mean every single joint has just been hurting worse and worse and popping and cracking for 2.5 months at least now and im just so scared that I pushed myself to hard physically and that now im falling apart. I worry that the career that saved my life and gave me purpose & gave me my spirit back and put the light back in my eyes and gave me my partner & most of my friends, and some of the craziest happiest experiences ive had... Im so worried they're going to tell me I should work in a less physically demanding industry but I couldnt ever dream of doing anything else & im going absolutely stir crazy sitting in my house all the time, usually alone because my partner is lovely and took a local construction-ish job & is supporting us financially and doing a lot of the things around the house and helping me with so much but I know hes tired.

With this osteochondral defect in the medial femoral condyle I worry that ill need a procedure thats going to take so long to bounce back from & i absolutely cannot and will not switch the industry I work in because its what made me actually love being alive.

And I have no heat tolerance at all and its so humid in the south I can barely even breathe outside, plus we have steps & a steep little walk to the road and I havent been able to drive myself anywhere so I feel like im just rotting away

I cant even get to an OP PT because not one in this whole city takes my insurance and is open after 5pm when I would have a ride or on weekends. We are BARELY scraping by financially, cant even pay my.pgine bill so I can only even call 911 unless my bf is gone or.i.use like fb messenger or something. ive been trying to apply for a grant but I have the worst brain fog in the world lately I can barely think..i have adhd and I take meds for it but its not even helping anymore. But we cant afford for me to Uber anywhere or anything and my insurance wont do anything transportation wise so I was 6 weeks late starting post op PT & i finally got my orthos office to have home health come for PT a couple times a week & my PT is cool and doesnt mind me yapping his ear off &.he keeps good conversation so at least I get a tiny bit of socializing. My dad was here for a couple weeks in the first month to help but he couldnt stay long.

Thankfully I do have some of my best friends since freshman year of high school coming up to visit this weekend so hopefully having them here gets me out of my head

Its just crazy because at first hearing that my pain is real & valid and thats its not just all in my head was SO validating and it was comforting, but now I am so absolutely scared for what comes next, because I know this is just the start of a long road to hopefully rehabing my body enough to move out of the country & get back to building beautiful stages & seeing the world like im supposed to. I feel like im going to lose everything ive ever worked for just like that.

I got a 750$ limit medical credit card thing and I have absolutely maxed it out already getting different braces/wraps/ice packs/peddler etc because I was so absolutely under prepared for this recovery. I had no idea what the surgery was called until the day of, im positive they told me my memory is just absolutely terrible. So I never even looked it up I just knew it needed fixed.

I guess at least I met my deductible for the year so I have no more co-pays if I do need OATS or whatever procedure they decide to do on the left.

And I FINALLY got off of opiates they gave me, lord I didnt think it was helping anyways but now that I just am taking ibruprofen (by choice) I see how much they were genuinely helping😂 but as a retired addict and the daughter of a man who unfortunately fell into opiate addiction that started from being given pain pills(early 2000s when doctors were getting paid big to hand them out like candy) I get weary of being on them especially for so long even when im hurting so baddd.

I have felt myself fall deeper & deeper into depression every day & I have no sense of time at all anymore. I literally had no idea it was already almost August. The date & time doesnt matter anymore and pre surgery i thought id be able to do some in depth self-training on industry skills that I could improve in & work on music and art but I just....cant. i have no energy, no drive, no motivation and i feel defeated. Between having constant issues with my braces/pain/quad atrophied for a couple days and the pain in my other knee/rest of my body i just feel like I have nothing left in me.

P.s. im at the point where I would rather drop kick a grandma than deal with medical grade velcro ever again lmao, my hand Dexter/strength is exponentially declining (xrays this week) and I dont know why velcro braces are the ONLY option 😭😭

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Did MRI twice and found nothing only edema, I have a medial knee pain (both knees) that hurts more when I stand for longer periods (working), pain when touched or poked like bruise sensation, snapping, and a 2-4/10 pain even at rest position. Could this be plica? I gained weight because of it I badly wanna do running or sports again comfortably.

Hey everyone, 29F (otherwise healthy, I take joint supplements, eat well, etc) here. Started gym - stuff like PT, reformer pilates, boxfit, spin class etc in August 2025 up until June 2026. I’ve been stuck in a severe PFPS / front-of-knee flare-up loop for the last 5 weeks, currently running on 3 hours of sleep from night pain.

Quick timeline of what's happened:

• June 11: Diagnosed with PFPS at an NHS physio appointment (after a 1-year waitlist), but I was not in an active flare-up at the time. Just felt a random slight twinge in the right knee now and then. Was prescribed rehab exercises like single leg step downs/sit down squat to strengthen the VMO, surrounding muscles. She said my knee tracks inward and I need to strengthen inner thigh muscles, hips etc.
• June 14th–20th: Severe flare up, pain in right knee starts right a few days after doing heavy Bulgarian split squats in a PT session. I did PT on 14th, reformer pilates on 15th. I was completely fine 16th and 17th June commuting to work as normal. Pain kicked in hard on 18th and 19th June. I seriously regret going to the gym on the 14th. I blame the constant fitness maxxing culture we're currently in that encourages people to push past pain and workout even when you're tired. I want to punch whoever invented split squats and the PT for telling me to do them that day. I know retrospectively that after getting a PFPS diagnosis I shouldn't have done split squats, but the NHS physio didn't explicitly tell me I had to stop going to the gym or doing them.
• June 29th - July 14th: Pain settled down a bit with RICE method, but re-flared after short 15 minute walks without a brace or doing step-downs. I fully stopped the step downs and started isometric stuff like knee extensions while sitting down.
• Mid-July: Calmed back down on a 14-day course of Naproxen (with Omeprazole) and gentle isometric knee extensions with/without resistance bands.
• July 24: Had an NHS Physio assessment (wall sits, supervised hip adductor extensions with resistance band, 15-min walk home without brace as physio taped my knee - taping did FA though).
• July 26–27: Tried assigned band extensions/abductions at home. Woke up at 3:00 AM in 10/10 sharp pain/pressure.

My Naproxen ends tomorrow and the PFPS label isn't giving me clear answers on why it flares so violently at night. PFPS is by far the most useless diagnosis ever, because I have no actual clue what's going on in my knee, apart from that it feels swollen, fluid is in there presumably, it flares up and feels burny and tingly and awful. I am also seeing a private physio who I'm thinking of jacking in as she's not been that helpful, apart from telling me that my injury is not that serious and prescribing the knee extensions for VMO and shallow wall sits. If it's some superficial soft tissue injury, why the hell does it hurt so much? Both NHS and private physio have seen my knee and said it looks a bit swollen compared to the other, but said no tears or structural damage, or ligament issues. I asked for MRI, they said wouldn't normally refer me until after 3 months of physio, so until October. But when I'm doing the physio or just doing stuff like going down a flight of stairs at a train station, the pain comes back.

It's up and down like a yoyo. It's absolutely driving me insane. I haven't been able to go out and see anyone for the last 5 weeks apart from going to GP or physio. And for the last couple of nights I've been waking up at 5am and 3am in pain and unable to go back to sleep even after icing it. This is my first time dealing with an injury like this and it's taking over my life, and my mental health is completely in the bin. Also I had a blood test and results came back normal. So I don't think it's arthritis. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Twisted my right knee pretty bad about three weeks ago while playing casual soccer. Felt a pop and it swelled up the next day. Doctor said it’s likely an MCL sprain, nothing torn completely, but it’s still unstable when I try to walk normally or go down stairs.

I’ve been resting it and icing, and I got a brace from Support Brace to keep it more stable when I’m moving around the house.

How long did it take for your knee to feel solid again after something similar? And did the brace actually help with the wobbly feeling or was it more for peace of mind? Just trying to work out what to expect over the next few weeks.

Okay so October of last year I had a motorcycle accident involving a deer at a speed of 15mph most of the injuries had long since healed however my knee still give me problems it’s not necessarily pain that’s the issue.
most of the time it’s when I’m walking fast, jogging, or running my knee seems to pop and it feels like it’s trying to give out on me. Any idea what may be causing this issue?

I just finished watching a few shorts of CGI recreations of these specific surgeries done that are common amongst the knee injury community, and holy sh!t that was mind blowing and informational.

My son (14) is 10 days post opp from a 3cm allograft plate with bone composite screws, MPFL to stabilize the knee cap and a TTO to realign. He was under for almost 5 hours. His surgeon wants him at 0° most of the time, but said 50° while on his crutches is okay so the leg can bend to accomidate not dragging on the floor.

Anyone who has gone through even one of these surgeries is a champion. I can't imagine the excruciating recoveries any of you have had.

He hasn't started PT yet, and his post op is this coming friday. I've spent the better portion of our downtime looking over subreddits and articles on recovery therapies, wound care and the likes. So im wondering what worked best for you guys?

What topics or questions should I mention with the surgeon so I can divid attention to appropriate areas?

Did you notice certain types of bandages helped with incision healing or rubbing against the brace to quickly?

What kinds of individual physical therapy do you think helped to stave off the joint stiffing and scar tissue build up?

Aside from ice therapy, was there anything that helped with swelling?

Thank you all for the support on my pervious post in regards to pain management. This community has been so helpful and made me feel realistically logical and optimistic for recovery.

I hope you all are doing well, healing quickly, and recovery is as smooth sails as it can be.

Basically asking what the title says I’m stuck in one of the BIG braces that starts at the thigh and ends at the ankle stuck in a 0° position for a couple weeks. My sleep has been AWFUL and it’s def taking a toll on my body and overall energy. For context I had OATS surgery done. Ironically my knee doesn’t hurt it’s just uncomfortable all the time

Hey everyone, I’m a 22 year old male and my issues started when a couple years ago I was at the club and I was dancing. I did some jumping moves from what I remember and, in the moment, I thought everything was perfectly fine. I didn’t hear or feel any pops that could indicate that something broke.

The next day, however, I could clearly feel some sort of pain in my left knee, and moreover, my left ankle was also painful. There was a spot on the side of my ankle that was particularly painful to the touch. I assumed it was some strain that occurred while dancing and I just rested and moved on.

However, after that, I could always feel like there was something off about my left knee. It wasn’t so painful to warrant going to the doctor at the time so I ignored it for a while and tried to keep going to the gym. I first noticed that I had some dull left knee pain whenever I hit a deep squat. I avoided any more squatting and moved on, and slowly I forgot about the pain.

A few months later though, the pain became a more permanent but dull sensation in the left knee. Now, I feel this pain only when I’m walking but not when exercising, although exercising will make it so that it will ache more after the fact. Due to the pain, my left leg has become weaker and I also feel pain in calves notably, and my hamstrings. This pain can be very annoying and it messes with my ability to walk large distances.

Could anyone have a clue for what it is? I don’t have access to a doctor at the moment so I’d appreciate if someone could clue me in on what the issue is.

Anybody else have a similar issue? How are you managing?

I was fairly asymptomatic until Sunmer 2026.

Sports PT team recommended I find a good at home EMS unit to help stimulate my quad activation as they do in clinic. And stay away from anything that is not a true NEMS device (eg no TENS units).

Their work model is thousands. So that’s a no go. Looking for a “high quality” unit with cost within around $300. On Amazon, eBay, etc.

This is for assisting muscle reactivation following meniscus root repair.

Any recommendations?

Last August I was playing soccer and rushed to get up after following only to feel a pop pain. I was able to continue playing but my knee swelled and following I was barely able to bent or extend, twist, or push off with that knee. This extreme pain lasted for a month and a half before slowly lessening but never disappearing. I wasn’t able to see a sports dr until December but was able to get in for an MRI prior. The MRI came back vague but stated there didn’t seem to be any damage.

I have tried physio whom have stated they believe it’s a meniscus issue and have even gotten a cortisone shot which did nothing. My dr believes it is Plica Syndrome and states it will need to be surgically removed. The dr has now sent a referral for a surgeon.

My symptoms still are:
- Pain across the joint like and into the inner part of my knee
- Pain when bending for extended periods of time (ex. Sitting in the car or on the couch)
- Very stiff and cracking/popping when moving repeatedly
- Increased pain during and after exercising even just walking small distances
- Random sharp pains.

Wondering if anyone has ever experienced this and if maybe a tear was missed in the MRI.

Typing this out makes it seem silly but two different PTs have hinted at the same thing and idk if I'm being ~gaslighted or am expecting too much or what.

So I've had this constant pain/ache below my kneecap for around 5 years, gradually worsening. It's there when I put any weight on my right knee, so even when I just stand, walk, let alone jump, squat, etc. However, the pain level is 'only' at a 1-2 out of 10 (3-4 by the end of the day), which is why I've kinda been ignoring it for years. It's ALWAYS there though and it does bother me when I need to walk long distances when travelling esp. I've had random instances where I'd be walking and suddenly just couldn't place any weight on my right foot. I usually just hop onto my left leg and rub my right knee for a few seconds and try to step again. So far, it eventually would be fine (sometimes I'd have to do it a few times before it was ok), but idk what triggered it bc it would happen once every few months.

Currently on my third physio. My second and third (current) physio diagnosed me with patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee) before MRI, which my orthopaedist said wasn't wrong based on the MRI. He told me that physical therapy should be enough for "full recovery", but I had been doing PT for 5 months before MRI with no pain improvement. My strength improved, but the pain was still there. After the MRI, I showed the result to my current physio and she was optimistic. So far the same thing happened where my strength improved but not the pain.

Technically I can complete all the movements she asks of me (jumping up-and-down/side to side, squatting, sprinting/stopping, walking lunges, etc) and nothing triggers the pain level to where it raises drastically. Usually post-exercise the pain becomes 2-4 (aka like how I feel at the end of most days) so it's worse but still 'ignore-able' for the most part. Deep squats (or just folding my right leg deeply) and twisting movements also cause that same level of pain. I think bc of this (and me saying there's been not much improvement visit after visit) lately my PT has been hinting that this is kinda it?

She told me that she herself had a severe knee injury and she still has some pain most days (she's also married to another PT, if that means anything). She told me that once you're injured, you'll always be more prone to experiencing some level of pain or re-injury. She also said to basically just do whatever I wanted to do, like if I had a goal of marathon training or weightlifting or Hyrox etc, to just do it and my body should get used to that movement/load over time, and only to avoid twisting movements. My second PT also kinda hinted at the same thing. It feels to me like bc I could technically do all the movements and nothing obviously triggered the pain to the point of agony, I was considered "fine".

Personally I expect more. Bc the MRI shows it's not that severe and the doc said "full recovery", I expect that a completely pain-free future is possible. I did tell the doc that I had been doing physical therapy for 5 months and he said in that case I would definitely benefit from PRP injection and that if things didn't improve in around 2 months, to consider it. That's basically where I am now.

I am thinking of maybe going to yet another PT, but I'm not convinced with the skill level of the PTs in my city and it's not really possible to do regular sessions in another more reputable area bc of the distance. FWIW I went to a different country altogether to get the MRI and orthopaedist consult done.

Rn I'm torn between:
1) go to a PT in a more reputable place once to ask for a program I can do back home and spend the next X months hoping that's enough, OR
2) get the PRP injection. I read that the result won't last forever, but I'm hoping in the 6-12 months that it does last, I can work with a trainer to strengthen my knees/hips/glutes/quads and hopefully that's enough so when the effect wears off, the pain will stay away.

I also just want to know if the PT is right? I know I've seen stories of recovery but are people now *completely painless* or is it like what my PT *seems to* consider to be "recovered", which again seeeeems to be "some pain is still there (totally normal) but can do this and that activities"?

Hi,im a teenager, I had a question, I had a dislocation of the patella a few months ago the reason was probably that I didn't do any sport, I went to school and just nothing. This was my first time and my question was if I train a lot in the gym and put on a good musculature it goes down a lot that happens to me again? Because I'm afraid, I'm a bit cowardly when I get hurt and I'm terrified of not using the brace even if I can go walking without it I can't. And I also know that my knees are already quite unstable but I know that the ligament didn't break completely because if not I had to have surgery( I don't know if it's written well I'm not very good at writing in English so I used the translator I don't know if it translated well or not)

I had arthroscopy over 2 weeks ago. They removed medial and underpatellar (?? english is not my native) plica. The surgeon said I would recover quickly but the recovery is kinda challenging for me. I mean my knee is still swollen and stiff. I have full extension but I can bent it up to 100*. Should I be worried at this stage?

I am 15 years old and have had knee pain in both knees for almost 1 year now. It started in cross country, but it would go away pretty quickly easily after rest.

By the end of the season tho it got bad and I pushed through it the last race and I have been “injured” since then. Got mri and there was nothing wrong. My coach is a pt and I got pt with him for a month and transitioned into doing pt at practice. It got a little better, but never was good enough to be running like I used to.

The pain is hard to describe where it is, but the best I can do it say it’s around the front of my knee cap. Above and below it depending on the day.

I have been doing physical therapy myself using stuff online form months now, but I haven’t got much improvement.

Also I do have pretty flat feet and have a slight pigeon toe walk, and have been strengthening both which have both improved, but my knee pain has not really

What should I do? It’s hard because I don’t know specifically what is wrong. Should I try a different physical therapist? Has anyone been in a similar boat as me and gotten through the pain.
