Patellar Tendinitis

One cyclist with patellar tendinitis tells her tale about her visit with her doctor to find out when she can get back out on her bicycle. He recommends rest, exercise doing an alternative activity, get sports injury massage.

The doc recommended physical therapy. That sounds expensive. But I'm willing now to accept that this is a problem worth throwing money at.

Because I acquired the injury in an interesting way - riding a 100-mile snow bike race - the doctor always ends up spending more time chatting with me about my bicycling than he does talking about my knee.

The good news is that with therapy and maintaining activity levels, this cyclist may be healed enough to cycle another 100-mile race again in May.
