Grating Sensation Behind Knee Cap

Grating sensation behind knee cap indicates patellofemoral syndrome or runner's knee. It is the injury of the cartilage under the kneecap. A painful grating and crunching sensation starts when more force is exerted on the knees. It is common in sportspersons, young women, and adults. It lasts for weeks to months. The only effective treatment known so far is to take rest and avoid those activities that cause pain. When not taken care of, it may worsen over a period.
