Tendonits

Eric,

Your best bet is to find a physical therapist that specializes in sports PT
or orthopaedics. He/she should also have a background in movement
re-education (not necessarily one and the same) to figure out what
"compensatory" movement strategies can be identified. In general, insidious,
non-traumatic knee pathology is a consequence of faulty movement mechanics
in the first place. Find the source of the problem rather than treat the
symptoms. An evaulation from a licensed PT with proper experience and
credentials would be a suggested course of action. Good luck.

months. I am an avid triathlete. I just had major surgury on my right
knee. Now I am having the tendonitis on my left knee. I assume that is
from over compensation.

I have done the rest, ice, massage, etc.. My medical doctor sent me for
ultrasound and that made it worse from the wand going over the bone. He
then gave me a coritzone shot near the tendon. At first it seemed to

work.

Can you help or point me in the direction that someone could help me. My
summer is pretty much lost and I don't really see any light at the end of
the tunnel.
