A member asked:

If i have tendonitis, can i do mild weight lifting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends!: Most likely you could, but check with your Orthopod as he can answer you better as he will be able to see, assess you better, and then determine how much weights and how frequently can you lift weights. Good Luck.

A member asked:

I've had patellar tendonitis for 8 months, would you recommend I'd try PRP or Prolotherapy? If not, what would you recommend. I'm trying to play soccer intensely like I use to. The tendonitis has made me gain weight since I can't be active.
