What is Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee) – 12 Facts to Know

Symptoms

The most typical sign of the jumper’s knee is the pain and discomfort direct over the patellar tendon. In addition, inflammation might happen, which leads to swelling and tenderness around the affected area. Any movement of the knee might trigger a crunching sensation over the swollen tendon. These symptoms tend to become worse over time, especially when you participate in kneeling or jumping. It is important to contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to seek proper treatments and avoid worsening the problems. [2]
