Sorry not much to share, except I do a variety of squats, split squats and single leg drops off steps/stairs to maintain knee strength and tracking.
Care to expand on your hip tendinitis? I get a pain that runs from hip flexor, over the top of the pelvis and around the side to the lower back. I think I overdid the hip flexor stretches late last year and hasn't healed up...

Any patella tendinitis experience?
I appear to have (touch wood) got over a hip problem and then sciatica (helped along with a massive dose of steroids shot into the spine). But the knee injury I picked up from doing the physio exercises that were supposed to help the hip tendonopathy is proving difficult to get over.
I’ve a minor tear in my meniscus but hasn’t bothered me for a few years, which may be part of this.
Physio is good - knee specialist still works mostly in NHS (so treating injuries rather than lifestyle coaching) - but Im making slow progress. Going to see a knee surgeon on Wednesday (the chap I saw when I had the meniscus problem); he’s surprisingly anti-knife for a surgeon though.
Any experiences to share? Extra points if you had a cortisone injection (which I think is my next option).
