A member asked:
I have patella tendinopathy, bursitis, hoffa fat pad oedema i've been treating with glycerine trinitrate, essentric exercises pain is worse after 3 week?

Injection: A steroid injection into the prepatellar bursa and/or fat pad could calm your symptoms and allow rehab to be more effective. I never inject the tendon itself with a steroid, due to the risk of tendon rupture. Platelet-rich plasma injections may be effective for subacute or chronic patellar tenon problems.
