Knee, Other

Grade: 3
I've had knee pain for about five years now. Was diagnosed with Runner's Knee about 3 months ago and have been going to physical therapy ever since. Lately the pain has increased and reoccurs much more often. It is now effecting my workouts and training more than ever.
My arches collapsed a few years ago and that was the main cause of my knee problems. I just completed physical therapy this week, where I did several types of exercises to stregthen my arches and hopefully bring them back to where they are supposed to be. I also did exercises for my quads and hamstrings which I am supposed to continue with. Running on pavement or for extended periods of time could still cause some discomfort, but that's normal and will decrease with time.
