Patellar tendonitis: There are several possibilities that could explain what is going on. These include patellar tendonitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, patellofemoral syndrome amongst others. It is best to see a Sport medicine or PMR specialist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime ice and anti-inflammatories as necessary are recommended.
