I've been fighting patellar tendonitis all season and have lived with the pain by taking ortho prescribed anti-imflamatories all year long. Yes, he told me to take some time off this summer, but I just didn't want to miss any races. Since my season ended after Clearwater I knew I had to take some running time off to try to get the tendonitis taken care of. I've been to the Ortho and had MRI's done and there is no other damage other than the inflamed patellar tendons in both knees.
I've been on a few rides but have kept them at higher cadence to not put pressure on my knees at all.
I feel like I'm losing all my run fitness. I know this is the off season and I planned on some down time but if the pain is not gone after next week I feel like I'll just have to deal with the pain again next year. Any advice from anyone that's gone through this? What else can I do to make the tendonitis go away?

Same basic story, different tendon. I thought weeks of rest would take care of it, but it took about 7 weeks. It was really, really difficult when I wasn't healthy after the weeks that I thought it would take. My biggest issue was overcoming the mental anguish of wanting to work out, but being busted up.
I finally wrestled that demon and realized that being healthy is the only way to compete. I made my complete healing my new "race" and training and focused solely on healing. I did alot of Yoga easy , Pilates and concentrated on my nutrition, including natural foods to suppress inflammation. I didn't try to sneak any workouts in because it only delayed my healing. Admittedly, nothing beats working out. But, I came to enjoy my little break in routine and my new challenge.
The great news for you is that it's December, not June. You CAN afford to take a break.
However, I found that altough I didn't gain any fitness, I didn't really feel like I lost too much. I competed healthy and it was worth it. Good luck with it!
Post 5 of 11 views. I was diagnosed with patellar tendinitis a year after having knee surgery for two meniscus tears and a torn ACL. I thought I was due for another surgery. Jumping and deep squats and I guess improper running form or bad shoes will make it worse. You should avoid those at all costs until things start to get better. My new orthopedic surgeon who is a triathlete got me the right physical therapy who gave me a really easy exercise: That combined with hard massage right in the place where it hurts and regular surface icing cured me well enough to run without problems as much as I want.
It still hurts when I don't stretch or run on it cold, but it's never debilitating like it was before. Also, I have found that e-stim helps me a lot for pain reduction Post 6 of 11 views. I had the same issue last year around this time and it took until March for the pain to fully be gone. It sucks but you have to cut the running off for the time being if you want to fully heal. I tried to run a little and it just hurt.
It definitely hurt my season this year as my run fitness was not fully back but it also made me ramp my running up slower this year and has allowed me to put more miles in each week currently up to 50 a week than i ever have. Seated leg press with only a slight bend in the knees no where close to 90 degrees , Leg curls with light weight and one legged half squats with no weight was what the PT put me on along with a number of stretches.
It is depressing to not run when you are used to it but look at it as a chance to catch up on other things for a short time and it is not so bad. Post 7 of 11 views. At this point your condition is likely no longer tendonitis but tendonosis.
I'm sorry to hear about your problem, as you've likely set yourself up for a very prolonged recovery. I have tendonosis of my biceps tendon in my left shoulder from swimming.
For a long time, I swam through it thinking it was an inflammatory condition. The reality is that I was repeatedly damaging the tendon, changing the characteristics of the tissue. I went to PT but they didn't give me anything to treat the tendon itself I did some research and found that a combination of friction massage, ice, and weight training have allowed me to get nearly pain free after about 6 months of effort. In friction massage you basically strum across the tendon. If you are sore, this will probably be painful, but I found that pain would usually be decreased after massage.
You'll also need to do some stregnthening that targets the tendon. This stimulates the tendon to grow stronger rather than to degenerate further. I'm not a doctor or PT, but I have some experience with this type of issue and I've done some homework.
