Persistent Knee Problem!!!

[Netty74]

In 2010 I had 2 arthroscopic operations on my left knee - the 1st was to sot out medial meniscus, the 2nd was a Trufit Plug - Cartilage Repair. I had 2 plugs inserted into the bottom of my femur, this was on 2 November. I now appear to have a problem with the bottom of my knee, my patella tendon, when it is pressed on I go through the roof, now so sore cannot press on it and it is slightly swollen in that area of my knee, I think this problem was there along with my other issues, I am now worried that this will really hamper my recovery, could already be until November that I can start running, if I don't sort this problem out I will never run again !!! not worth thinking about - anyone had similar problems!?

In general:
Ice, elevation , static exesrcises for your quadriceps if u master it with full range of motion and pain free go to strentheing, ....................
