Patellar Tendonitis

Took me a month of doing nothing to strain it.. no running,
or biking.. to heal mine. Then, I slowly eased back into
exercise, biking first and starting with a mile run...and
stopped if I felt any pain. Also starting wearing a patellar
brace (like chopac brace) which seemed to help.... that is
my story anyway, and it has been okay since. I made the
mistake when I first felt the pain or trying to push through
it which made it worse.

Roll out the quads You can use the PVC or the rolling pin to
lay on or you can check out www.tpmassageball.com and get
their complete kit for $120. IF you can loosen the quads the
pressure on the tendons will disappear.

That's interesting. I had a similar knee problem. My
physical therapist gave me a stretch for the side of my hip.
After months, my PT knee pain went away within a few days.
