What if I have a patella tendon tear?

Answer #1

its gonna hurt to walk for a while, the patella is your kneecap, and a tendon is a mass of fibrous tissue that (in this case)connects your patella to your other legbones. Every time you bend that knee, your tendon will flex and remind you its damaged with sharp pain.

Answer #2

Then you need to follow your doctors advice and it will take a long time to heal due to the poor vascularity of the tissue. Ligaments and tendons often never regain the same properties they had prior to injury so you may be more prone to injury in the future.

Answer #3

Ok well i think i just have patella tendonitis cuz we looked on 1 xray and everything looked fine than i got an mri and anouther doctor is looking at it in a couple of days so ya well see what he says
