How to help heal Patellofemoral Syndrome?

Question

I'm an active soccer player and have had horrible pains in both knees. I looked up my symptoms and it came up as Patellofemoral syndrome. The description was almost identical to my symptoms and i was wondering until i can get to my doctor to get a script for an MRI what i can do to relieve my pain, besides RICE (rest,ice,compression,elevation). Advil hasn't been doing much for me. Any advice? Thanks!

You might want to talk to your local pharmacist and he may suggest Tylenol for pain or and heat ointnment and as well  you may want to put ice pack on your knees . If the knees are bothering you this much stay away form soccer till you have a full prognosis on your condition . I hope the pain  goes away and have a great day and good luck at the Doctor .
