>Anyone ever had this?

Had it for a year, was a pain in the ass to identify. My doc thought it was a meniscus injury at first. Run a heavy Anti-inflammatory cycle coupled with painkiller plaster, after 2 weeks it was gone. Now after 6 months I'm squatting ez pz. I would recommend using Rehbrand sleeves, helped me with the recovery a lot, still using them.

eccentric tendon loading.
look up "eccentric squat patellar tendinitis".

what i would recommend:
*1 or 2 weeks no knee loading.
*couple of weeks slow decline unilateral eccentric squats 3-5 sets. should feel a mild pain end of each set. increase frequency over time. no other knee loading.
*full barbell squats twice a week. slow eccentric, normal concentric. start with the empty bar, increase weight over time.
*(slowly) reintroduce other sports when squat weights are decent again.

knee sleeves can help, especially in the beginning. ditch them when you start squatting moderate weights again.

no kneeloading means nothing besides walking.

I've had this, in bad combination with osgood schlatter's disease. Go see a doctor and then a physical therapist.

2 weeks of Cortisone. First week full dosage every morning, second week half dose, paired with gastric protector tablets.

Tendons are muscle fiber so it's best to use hot therapy on it. Also, foam roll, lacrosse ball, massage the muscles surrounding the patellar. This includes the quads and calves, and behind the knee. Let time heal it as well.

No joke it's because you need to start foam rolling your quads. A PT told me this and my pain has vanished once I applied his knowledge.
