[at-l] Cho-Pat and knee issues

[Teresa French]

Of those that have used Cho-Pat (with or without good results), can you give me some info?

Will you describe the knee issue(s) you were having, including type and location of pain, any diagnosis you received, which Cho-Pat product you used, and how the Cho-Pat helped or didn't help?

I had knee pain at the end of my thruhike, and was first diagnosed with tight quads.  At PT, they thought I had patellofemoral syndrome, perhaps brought on by tight quads and iliotibial band and weak VMO muscle.  One PT recommended McConnell taping, which seemed to work, but is such a pain in the arse to do.  So, I'm looking for an easier alternative.

I had been doing well (as far as the knee issues), even including some jogging (2-3 days/wk), but after playing 2 games of softball last night, the ol' knees are sore today!

Thank you!
