Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome AKA Runners Knee

Guys, I need some help. I had a personal goal to finish a 5k and pushed through some knee pain to make it happen for the Louisiana Marathon. Finished in 33 and some change, but at 260 lbs, I was moving. Knee pain is even worse now and I haven't run since. I took anti-inflammatory for a week which didn't help, and now I've just been resting it but it's not getting any better.
Any suggestions from the runners here? Could an injection help? Really enjoy running and to be honest with this pain I can't really do any cardio.

Where does your knee hurt, especially in relation to your patella? What movements cause it to hurt? Bending, straightening, pivoting, lateral movements. Does it hurt while squatting, going up or down the stairs?
These are the things that we need to know to offer any kind of advice.

Look up PEACE & LOVE vs RICE for a tire injuries.
It’s a lot more nuanced than the above, buts it’s a good start. From the rehab side of thing there is a lot I can help you with after a formal evaluation.
If you need want help what’s your email?

It's the front of the knee and behind the kneecap. It's absolutely patellofemoral because it only hurts when bending, squatting, going downstairs or sitting to long etc. I can do everything, including jumping, running, pivoting just with pain if I go past certain degrees of bend or lots of repetition like jogging.

I would recommend PT. You need to work on quad strength and balance. If really inflamed Cortisone can be helpful.

Thank you for the info. Get checked by a PT. It could be PPS or it could be a few other things. In the meantime, start strengthening your Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO). Look up Terminal Knee Extensions (TKE). Start incorporating those into your training program. There's a little controversy about VMO strengthening exercises to fix PPS, but I've personally seen it work hundreds of times.
Hope this helps.
