riley mcfarlane | 5 days | I think I was all of a sudden running after doing not much at all because of 35+ degrees Celsius for over 2 weeks, I did nothing. Another factor might've been rapid growth as I have caught up with my sister & mother, growing over 2 inches in a couple of weeks, let alone probably 10 inches this past year XD. At first, compression, icing & rest have seemed to cure my patellar tendonitis but leaving my muscles in my legs like chicken sticks (hopefully I can get into MMA or working out so my musc... | details |

TheInvisibleLog | 7 days | Came good almost instantaneously after a 2 hour car trip. Suggests the problem is a mobile piece of cartilage flotsam. | 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 |
Keith | 8 days | Don't do pyrnees mission in weired insoles and shoe combo. Don't wear jandals (british = flip flops) for long walks as cause hurt | details |

TheInvisibleLog | 14 days | Made the mistake of trying too much too early which set me back to square one. Patience!!!!!! | details |
Sly Chimera | 15 days | It's really pretty much done. Stretching, icing and foam roller helped...probably foam roller was the most effective (I don't know why I say that excepting it's the most uncomfortable). | details |
Frozen Fries | 16 days | The heel cushions put my knees in a different biomechanical position that wasn't working. | details |

TheInvisibleLog | 28 days | The more acute pain gradually subsided, leaving residual soreness and some limited mobility. Icing and ibuprofen treatment seemed to help. | details |
ljd9 | 28 days | Haven't had the issue for awhile now. Haven't been running as much/as much on concrete. | details |
cktrahan | 29 days | The knee started to come around and feel better once I started running a little faster. I think part of the problem was an altered stride and part of it was bad shoes. It's still tender and I have to keep an eye on it but it's not constantly in pain anymore. | details |
tcut | 30 days | Early ibuprofen & rest deifinitely helped. | details |
Jacques Booysen | 30 days | 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 |

O-ing | 38 days | core stability stuff helped - not limping after the last two runs so I think we'll say temporary recovery | details |
acejase | 38 days | everything is back related and often sitting related. suspect tight back pulling on quad which pulled on patella tendon. last 20% or so took a long while to recover. managing this still ongoing. | details |

neda.tamas | 50 days | Egész évben be volt gyulladva, de most már beleszólt az edzésbe is. Muszáj volt pihentetnem. Doki azt mondta, hogy egészen a tapadása, azaz a csonthártya van begyulladva a feszes quadriceps-től. Nehezen múlik, sőt rosszabb lett a semmittevéstől. Ezért elkezdtem rendesen hengerezni és napi 3x nyújtani és el.el múlogatott. Gyógyultnak jelentem magam, mert tudtam már vele futni 2km-t, de még néha érzem. | details |

swolfe | 64 days | superfeet inserts and hip exercises to help with realignment of the bones caused the knee to track better | details |
austrianmike | 64 days | Knee support bandage still used when running longer events and for full 90min football matches. No more significant pain though | details |
entrenando123 | 67 days | 11/24 - hasn't really bugged me so I guess the issue is gone. | details |
ken | 70 days | quad stretching and warmup pants are good. I think initially I did too much hamstring and not enough quad stretching which led to imbalance/hyperextensions and didn't help the original problem. I had noticed the quad getting gradually tighter in late summer/fall. | details |
mmurph | 70 days | Improved hip flexibility. Used patellar tendon straps. Heat before workouts, ice after, prescription Naproxen for both knees and groin injury. Staying away from cycling for awhile. | details |

BGozza | 108 days | Almost entirely recovered now. Lots of help from the physio doing strength exercises and as annoying as it is, resting up and taking it easy is the way to go. Still occasionally sore but so much better. | details |
lazydave | 109 days | details | |
Pia W | 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 |
Stevek | 110 days | Genrally recovered via time | details |
RD Tom | 115 days | Stopped running and knee stopped hurting. | details |
HitnHope | 122 days | Seems chronic. Hard to tell whether it's tendon or cartilage. Exacerbated by cycling and climbing steeply. Backing off those activities, and wearing a brace helps. OK at present (early 2021). | details |

seelenfliege | 287 days | increased training during winter, no intensive but long enduring sessions | details |
pi | 315 days | Only thing that helped was a long (3 month) complete rest from any running activity. Then carefully building up again. | details |
Knutern97 | 318 days | Vet ikke helt om det er borte enda, men har ikke kjent noe på en stund. | details |
