I have mild PFS/PFPS and my PC dr. recommended first getting a knee rehab book and trying conservative home treatment. One book recommends heating the knee before the exercises. My doctor has recommended capsaicin cream for other joint problems in the past. (In those cases, he said it was not just masking the pain but aided in healing).
