A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probable tendinitis: When wound at this site heals, underlying the area are insertions of the tendons of the lower leg into the distal femoral areal or tibial plateau. When the would is well healed and sutures out, if deep pain persists, best way to complete deeper healing is to increase blood flow to area. This accomplished by warm showers x2 daily and aiming water at site of tenderness. Should respond 10 days
