Hey guys,
Iv got a bump/lump on the top of my knee cap which has been causing me some pain when i jump or squat.. Or even just flex my quad.
Iv seen a doctor and had an xray and bone scan done, and the doc just recons its quad tendonitis...
Can tendonitis actualy cause a lump ?
Yea, thats very common with tendonitis to be able to actually see some of the swelling around the knee, particularly the sides. Make sure you rest it, anti inflammatory meds can help but they wont stop you from aggravating the injury if you dont get to the route of the problem. Foam roll the it bands, stretch the quads, glutes, hams, and hip flexors, make sure form is good on squats and other lower body lifts, and include plenty of hamstring work in your training.
