medial quadricep pain

Hello!
I am having pain that I thought was knee pain, but have figured out is really some band or something that runs through my medial quad.
I think this “band” is tight and pulling on my knee causing me pain.If I am sitting with my knees bent 90 and grab 3 inches above my knee so that my thumb is medial quad and my pinky is lateral quad, my knee is touching where the band runs up (up to groin area). So what the heck is going on?
Why is this place tight?
Why does it hurt like mad?
Will stretching help this?
Strengthening? HELP!
I want to run sooo bad but this is killing me!About 5 years ago I had lateral knee pain which was related to weak hamstrings, so I’m thinking this might be a muscle imbalance as well… Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!Kate

    I have the exact same pain as you describe. I was diagnosed with patello femoral syndrome about a few weeks ago, and now that i’m starting to rehab my quad I have the exact same symptoms you describe. Just wondering if you found out what you have. Thank you.
