Stretch : Not sure if you have ITband or patellar tendinitis . My advice is to stretch your hamstrings , IT band etc more during your 'offseason '. NSAIDs ( ibuprofen),rest ( esp. from running , jumping etc.) can help. If you are not improving see a board certified orthopedic surgeon . Best of Luck!

Treatment is stretching exercises and muscle training and gait
