    What caused the patellar tendonitis?

    Knotted,
    In reviewing the week leading up to the "unfortunate knee crankiness" , he thinks that I just did too much volume too soon in my season. I really did not think I was over doing it, but a little extra here, and a little extra there may have just been the straw that broke the camel's back.

    In the past when I have had pt before, it was because the quad on that side had just had enough.

    So that is what we think.

    Do you think we are missing something?

    Nope, I'm just always interested in what causes tendonitises. (tendoniti? tendonitissus? tendonitis issues...) Especially in women, since our knees take such a variety of forces.

    At least you have a name for it, and a response to it.
    Wishing you speedy recovery and no "back-in-three-weeks" cause it WILL get better

    "I will try again tomorrow".
