A member asked:
No pain from patella tendonitis for 4 days went on treadmill and increased from 3 to 5 and felt a tight discomfort is this ok or can it cause damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait and see: Patellr tendonitis is a cause of anterior knee pain. It is an overuse problem. Increasing the incline on the treadmill will increase stress on the tendond, but not as mich as running or jumping. I would progress slowly, stretch before and after and if pain recurs then back off the activity.
