A patient who is a marathon runner and training for the upcoming NYC marathon and has moderate knee pain that we just evaluated said, "Well Dr. Google told me that I have....". We laughed together.

Great information and thank goodness we have access to such information but be sure to see your healthcare providers when having pain of unknown cause. [...]

Many times there is pain referring from small tender nodules called trigger points within myofascial structures in or around areas of pain.

Patients usually complain of tenderness along points in firm bands of skeletal muscle consistent with prior reports. Sometimes the area of pain is not the original site of strain or injury.
