    Anyone out there have any recommendations for jumper's knee which is basically just patellar tendinitis in the lower front part of kneecap? I think I have a lite case and am currently biking and jogging to stay in shape for a tourney in 7 days.

    You can use a large Rubber band, just be careful to not make it to tight.

    i had the same problem for a while, u could probably use tape but just dont make it to tight. I suggest you try some stuff out over the weekend.

    might want to shave the hair off of the area you plan on taping for easier removal
