By contrast to tendonitis, tendinitis is an acute (sudden, short-term) condition in which inflammation is caused by a direct injury to a tendon.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i>It is found that<\/i>\u00a0<i>the main difference between tendonitis and tendinitis is time.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Knee Tendonitis Symptoms<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might feel a slight annoying pain to sharp debilitating pain in the section just between the kneecap and the shin bone. When that area is inflamed we call this Knee tendonitis, Patellar tendinitis or Jumper\u2019s knee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel a sharp pain when<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">squatting,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kneeling or\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">getting up from a seated position.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pain typically occurs due to repetitive running, jumping, hopping, squatting or kicking activities. It is also particularly common in sports requiring frequent acceleration and deceleration or repetitive jumping (such as basketball or netball).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Muscles that support the knee<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quadriceps and the hamstrings support the knee. As part of the quadriceps, the rectus femoris is the muscle that attaches at the hip and at the patella. The patellar ligament attaches from the kneecap to the tibia (the shin bone). Any tension in the rectus femoris muscle may cause subsequent pain in the knee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Things to avoid doing\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid activities that cause you any pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rest the knee and legs while still exercising other areas of the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of squats opt for dead lifts for example, only for the time being.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How is Knee Tendonitis treated?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to relieve the pain, and with that, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nexushealthclinic.com\/services\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tendonitis in knee treatments vary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At home: use an ice pack while keeping the leg elevated.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a clinic: get a massage treatment to address any tension in the muscles surrounding the knee thereby alleviating the pressure on the knee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the lymphatic drainage technique in massage therapy could also be used to drain the area of excess fluid from the inflammation, using the lymphatic drainage technique.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Can I fix it on my own<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the severity of the pain, it is possible to fix it on your own. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience little to mild pain, you should strongly consider stopping any activity that is aggravating the knee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time when getting to places, going up stairs, lifting heavy boxes or any weighted items, for example when carrying a toddler or assisting a person who has mobility needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Knee Tendonitis Exercises<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercises to relieve knee tendonitis include:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To strengthen the muscles supporting the knee &#8211; do some standing hamstring curls at your desk when taking a break.
