Thanks for the info. As I live in CA this would not help me. My MRI didn't show anything like that and that my knee was in perfect position. I don't know why the nerve block hasn't helped either. Thanks JL

I have this exact problem as many others have. Key as far as I understand is that after 3 months the pain at a site of injury is deemed chronic, and is increasingly correlated with the state of that injury. Basically, the mind habitually creates the tension as a protective mechanism without verifying it is needed. My feeling is that the continuing numbness of skin is the factor that keeps the brain protecting. Problem is that the protection limits movement and can derail the patella.
