About 6 weeks ago, I got a diagnosis of chondramalacia patella / mal tracking patella. I suffer with anterior knee pain after or during HIIT or loaded lower limb sessions. And some tenderness around front of knee when going up and down stairs. I suspect some arthritis.
I felt it was getting better, i've done shitloads of rehab exercises - and I've still exercised in classes, but not done lunges/loaded squats etc.
But today in a class with quite a lot of fast, knee moves - where of course, I did lots of adjustments to avoid this, I felt really frustrated. It felt particularly sore this am, so I was very careful. But now I worry that my cardio fitness is really suffering.
Just wanted to hear from anyone who had this and how long it took to repair?
