| BazorakcommaJ | 3 days | Maybe wasn't patella tendonitis after all. Not really sure, but happy if it really is better. | details |
| Marten | 4 days | details | |
| walk | 6 days | Seems resolved tho still a slight twinge climbing stairs etc. Ok for now. Rest and avoid strain seemed to do it. | details |
| manne | 7 days | Haven't felt anything the last sessions, so I think I've beat the knee pain for this time ;-) | details |
| Dehydrated | 8 days | rested 1 week | details |
| Swisscheese | 8 days | Running through the injury, knee tape, massage, ultra sound on the bursa, Bemer and especially 3x400mg/day Ibuprofen made the problem go away. The reason for the problem is probably a stiff hip and not so well working butt muscles. So I shall more stretch and strengthen this region. | details |
| Ant Squire | 8 days | details | |
| ken | 10 days | probably was quad tightness. stretching that was most effective | details |
| simon | 10 days | details | |
| triple-double | 11 days | Continued to run on it. Did some icing and ibuprophen, but I think that time did the trick. | details |
| Eoin | 13 days | physio, taping | details |
| walk | 14 days | Seemed to really be only one or two days. With easing off and Vit M, have not had further problem with patella. Knees remain cranky though | details |
| roschi | 22 days | hard to say, could have been the fall on frozen ground 4 weeks prior, or the new bike shoes... | details |
| Sarah | 22 days | Foam roller really helped! | details |
| TC | 22 days | pain seems to have pretty much gone | details |
| peterprong | 27 days | Treatment, and taping knee works well. | details |
| dlevine | 35 days | Strength is slowly coming back after a combo of not using it in stress situations, rest, and weight training. | details |
| franklinwood | 36 days | 17 Sept: Took a month of rest on the knee and it worked. No problems in the knees. I think it was caused by overuse with trainings and races. | details |
| GregBalter | 36 days | strength training + salt therapy + lower running volume + skiing | details |
| Eoin | 38 days | core stability stuff helped - not limping after the last two runs so I think we'll say temporary recovery | details |
| The Mahican | 39 days | details | |
| guitarbiker | 63 days | details | |
| kivisap | 110 days | Probably caused by too tight quadriceps in combination with 90 degree bending of the knee during biking (in contrast to much less of an angle during running). As always:DO NOT SKIP STETCHING!!! | details |
| Wyatt | 116 days | Cho-Pat strap worked the day I tried it - ramped up to racing in 6 days, after 4 months of physical therapy had me in slowly worsening pain that by the end would flare up after walking 20 minutes... | details |
