Knee, Patellar tendonitis

2017-12-19 – 2017-12-24

Grade: 3

I have no idea how I got patella tendonitis, the only thing that might have caused the injury is rapid growth without stretching on a regular basis. Other than that, Idek what caused this! It just appeared overnight! Oh and its both knees...

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 muscles aren't as frail). Here's to 2018! Watch out!
