Has anyone here ruptured or partially torn their quad tendon?, what were the symptoms?. I have had a pain on the top of my kneecap (where the quad meets the kneecap) and also have a bump where the tendon goes into the kneecap - the bump is not visible but i can feel it. I have had no bruising or swelling with the injury, but it has been lingering for a few months. Any help would be appreciated.
