"Patella Femoral Syndrome"?

i have a condition in my knee called Patella Femoral Syndrome, can anyone tell me the details of it or does anyone else have it?

This is a very common problem especially in women. The pain may worsen with stair climbing, knee extension exercises or deep squats. Sitting with your knees flexed for a long period of time in a car or movie theatre may aggravate your symptoms.
Causes

Patellofemoral pain syndrome can be caused by softening of the cartilage under the kneecap (Chondromalacia). A malalignment of the kneecap or tight tissue around the kneecap can also create tension that may lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome.
