| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 | |
| darryn | 32 days | details | |
| dp | 34 days | Pat strap and riding in easier gears helped heal this one. | 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 |
| Wildsky | 39 days | details | |
| simon | 40 days | Rest rest rest, very progressive come back | 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 |
| ljd9 | 52 days | details | |
| zoolander | 55 days | details | |
| Steve R | 55 days | Cause - worn out cartilage Recovery - rest, glucosamine & quad strengthening & stretching. | details |
| linus_sandgren | 58 days | Det visar sig att det ska tränas på, med vikter dessutom. Knäböj, knäböj, knäböj. | details |

| mikeeyer | 63 days | 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 |
| BigWillyStyle | 72 days | details | |
| willgardner | 76 days | Old shoes and a change to hard surfaces. Rest, anti-inflamitories, knee support. | details |
| delk4msm | 88 days | Get knee pads (and shin pads) for future orienteering/trail running. | details |

| Craig | 94 days | details | |
| AC | 95 days | details | |
| marcusm | 99 days | Jag behöver regelbunden styrketräning för benen om jag springer mycket. Knäböj är absolut viktigast. | details |
| DuJ | 104 days | lots of icing, used foam roller, xtrain with cycling and swimming. no running for 2 weeks. massage therapy, chiropractor adjustments, laser treatments helped with recovery. castor oil packs helped reduce swelling. post-recovery:Physio 2x a week for 6 weeks. | 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 |
| TheInvisibleLog | 124 days | One leg squats seems to help. Now the exercise is in the maintenance program. | details |
| BigWillyStyle | 129 days | details | |

| lostrunner | 165 days | Physio, 3 months off no exercises | details |
| Tullster | 167 days | details | |

| AdventureGirl! | 188 days | details | |

| - | 256 days | details | |
| Platterpus | 257 days | 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 | 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 |
| Steve R | 350 days | Cause - overuse from lunging in squash. Rest & glucosamine tables helped. Still gets a bit sore after intense squash comp. | details |
| inuksuk | 367 days | Bike seat had slid backwards about 2cm. Correcting seat made an instant difference. | details |
| Oestlin | 458 days | details | |
| fletch | 532 days | No idea what helped. Gradually resolved, despite increased running load this year | details |
| JamesBradshaw | 564 days | details | |
