L Knee, Patellar tendonitis

2017-08-01 – 2018-04-15

Grade: 3

Update, this was not Patellar tendonitis which explains why exercises did not help
------------------------------------------------------------

I have been ignoring this and as it gets worse I decided to actually visit the DR. He diagnosed and suggested REAL rest and not my definition. So.. after the Winter Pig I will have to lay off it for awhile. Extreme pain while ascending and descending stairs and steep hills. Also affects my balance as I start favoring my right leg
***Mid Jan, over the past week there seems to be some pain relief. Not much but hopefully I have finally started healing. My feeling is that I should be on Crutches to heal properly. I have set a 2 week goal to start minor exercise

Hip exercises seemed to help but it could come back. I am still not sure what this is and it seems like it took too long to heal for Tendinitis
