Patellar tendinitis?: I'm assuming u have patellar tendinitis w/ your mention of the 'strap' or chopat strap. I rarely use this for patellar tendinitis . I would suggest seeing an ors experienced in knee problems. If pt is indeed your dx.Then hamstring stretching, rest from offending activities, nsaids , ice massage, and possibly a multi- NSAID topical cream may be helpful.Best of luck.
