If im tying to sleep and i have jumpers knee how high do i elevate it?

Find your position: NMS but I would suggest that you try different positioning to find out which position works best for you (pillows etc). Obviously getting the tendonitis controlled would be the best option. Have you try NSAID? ( a topical NSAID may work as well but not approved for those under 18) . Good luck.
