A member asked:
I have jumpers knee, will playing basketball help to strengthen my knee, so i will have no pain or just damage my knee further? surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need rest: "jumpers knee" or patellar tendon tendinitis is aggravated by stop/ start, acceleration sports and jumping. So basketball is especially 'bad' on jumper's knee. Rest from bb, nsaids , ice massage to the origin of the patellar tendon and NSAID / pain creams are helpfulonly for severe cases that don't improve w/ above and show degeneration of tendon on MRI is surgery performed.Gl!
