A member asked:
I got diagnosed with patellar tendinitis thurs.& i am to wear a brace for the nxt 3 weeksi have pain when i take my brace off at nite. is that normal?

Night pain: Possibly. However , I believe a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon to do X-rays and a full exam to rule out cruciate and collateral ligament tears, meniscal pathology , bone cysts and fractures is indicated due to your night pain. If the pain is mild continue rest ice compress with ace bandage at night and elevate.
