Shadon, Here's hoping you get better quick. Have you talked to a physical therapist? When I had tendonitis in an ankle, I was working at a place that had PT services for the employees. Our PT said I should go out and buy the highest heels I could balance on and wear them for a couple of weeks. Sounded wierd, but she explained that it keeps the ankle angled downward and pretty much imobilizes the achilles tendon. It worked anyway. This particular trick won't work for a knee, but a PT might know of other tricks that would.
