The cartilage under your kneecap (patella) is a natural shock absorber. Overuse, injury or other factors may lead to a condition known as chondromalacia patella — a general term indicating damage to the cartilage under your kneecap. A more accurate term for chondromalacia patella is patellofemoral pain syndrome.

The most common symptom is knee pain that increases when you walk up or down stairs. Simple treatments — such as rest and ice — often help, but sometimes physical therapy or even surgery is needed to ease patellofemoral pain.



Our beloved Fightins start another season with many questions and concerns.  Will Utley and Howard come back and be productive.  Will the aging aces play at their normal high level?  Will this be Cole Hamels last season in Philadelphia?  Will Phreak and Don Ho be able to enjoy any games this season? 

Key Additions:

• Jonathan Papelbon
• Laynce Nix
• Juan Pierre
• Jim Thome

Key Subtractions:

• Ryan Madson
• Brad Lidge
• Raul Ibanez
• Roy Oswalt

There's no way that Jay really thinks that Utley and Howard will play a combined 200 games, does he?  He's kidding, right?  A belated April Fool's joke perhaps?  Good one, Jay.  You got me.  Now what's your real answer? 

[BigEd76]

How is that implausible? Even if each is out until June 1, they'll still play over 100 games a piece.  Seems like most of you think they'll both be out until August...
