I have lots of knee pain in both knees, my doctor said that it was patella femural pain form dancing so much and that i should go to physical therapy. So I have been going 2 times a week for like 8 weeks and it hasnt been getting better, some days its worse….could i need surgery?

That’s always possible, but I would consider other options before surgery…especially if you are a dancer. Including:
A second opinion from both a doctor and another PT
Bracing
Orthotics
Injections
Leave it alone for a year (well, that’s a hard one)

I’m not a doctor, but I too have a lot of knee pain. I tried P.T. but it did no good. Knee surgery may be an option, but I think it depends on your age as to whether a doctor would even consider it. You may want to get another opinion.
