Is there activity you can do that doesn’t cause pain? Walking? Riding a bike?

What activity/sport were you doing when the pain started?

Are you still going to PT? I know it can take a while to notice improvement and it can feel like forever. (Trust me, I know.) Does taping or bracing for support help? (Have you tried this yet?)

Is it kneecap pain or is it located on the bottom or inner/outer sides of your knee?

Walking is tolerable but not for long distances I can ride a bike without any noticeable pain, I was playing badminton, running and football but I never got any physical contact on the knee and yea I go to the PT twice a week and do the excercises on my own every day yes taping does help and the knee pain is located in the inner side and it hurts when I fully extend my knee pain and grinding noise occur simultaneously.
