What can you tell me about tendonitus of the knee. I think I might have had something like that in my left knee. As you may know here, I'm an very avid hiker,backpacker, cylist and kayaker and I think I might of pinged my left knee while backpacking over the holidays. Knee is fine when prone, or slight bent when walking on a level surface, but say I put weight on it when climbing or descending stairs (rocks, etc. etc.), I can feel a sharp pain in the underside of my left knee. Sounds like tendonitus to me but most websites mention the symptons to the tendons in front of the knee cap. That's not where mine hurts. Had it happen on the 27th. Right now, if feels a lot better but not 100%. Anything other than the usual anti-inflamatory or perhaps a heatpad and rest? I did a hike on new year's day with a friend of mine but we made sure it was on fairly level ground, on the trails, and no ledges to hop. I test it every now and then on the stairs and today I can put weight on the left leg and bend it pretty good so I know it's getting better.
