I am normally prone to tendonitis throughout my body, but this is different. Had a PT make sure my form was perfect and it did not help.
Has anybody on /fit/ had anything similar? Should I rest for a bit and maybe just do some isolation exercises for a while?

Had the same issue when hit 200 lbs squat.
I did Starting stretching on rest days for 1 month.
Continued with linear progression afterwards.

Considering just buying a knee sleeve or something similar.

Are knee sleeves any good?

>>39453566
Look up some raw powerlifting videos and tell me how many people you see squatting without knee sleeves.

True, but do they offer much benefit when lifting babby weights? And do they affect gains?

They protect your knees primarily, bro. They keep you making gains for longer.
