Have Any of you guys Ripped your Patellar Tendon?

Well it turns out i've had a slight tear for a while now, like 2 years. LOL i'd actually play with it like this too!

I was first diagnosed as having tendonitis, but i guess it turned out to be worst...

Has this ever happened to anyone? As im about to get surgery soon, but im deciding whether to or not, As i function daily perfectly, its just when running or playing futbol that my tendon gets really sore, and turns into a PITA for the next couple days.

Have any of you guys have this operation to fix it? Mine is a slight tear, but is cutting myself open worth it and having this down time? Any of you guys over come it without surgery?

This is scaring me. :(

I went to PT for supposed tendinitis but I'm not sure if it's 100% yet. I hope I don't have something like this... :(

Its not too bad, go to a specific knee doctor, forgot what they are called lol and ask him how serious he thinks it could be, whats do you feel after your done playing? How long has this been bothering you?

Not really that sore after playing. It's more of if i take a hard shot or do a scissor quickly..

Chances are your not like me, its really sore after i play, and it hurts for osmetimes a whole week. So i'd think your ok, but if your really concerned i'd go check with a knee doc. for sure.

Just ice it, for a little bit during the times it hurts.

I was diagnosed with tendonitis as well, and my doctor told me after a month or so it shouldn't bother me(I had been playing non-stop from october to september, when I finally went to the doctor). my knee would get really swollen, especially in the beginning of August. I couldn't kneel on that knee as it sent sharp pain through it, and even the slightly tap in the problematic area made me cringe.

I took about 3 months off, and it started feeling pretty good. and, now that I've started back up training(running and lifting a lot), it seems to be fine. sometimes if it gets hit, in the perfect spot, it'll bother me a couple days.

I guess if it bothers you to the extent that it affects your play, you should probably really consider it. or if it's highly recommended by your physician.

now i'm not a doctor, but "knees grinding" doesn't sound to good to me.
