I have recently developed a bit of this in one knee, following an impact directly on my patella....seems this is quite unusual, but just my luck.
Having had a lot of issues with my knees through the years from football, I am pretty tuned in to when they are 'good' or not, but this isn't healing after three weeks, so I've had to resort to other measures. Seeing as I'm just a poor firefighter, I don't have the spare funds to splash on specialists (at this time), and have started to self medicate! I have started with kinesiology tape, applied via YouTube videos, with the aim of taking some of the pressure off the tendon, giving it a bit of space to heal....I must say, that after three days, the pain is lessening already, and I've been able to use the spin bike at work, without pain....it's a promising start!
