Inflammation below the knee at the point where the tendon from the kneecap (patella) attaches to the shinbone (tibia).
Often seen with adolescents following a growth spurt. When the tendon and bone do not grow at the same rate, the tendon is stretched causing inflammation and pain.
Pain usually worsens during activities involving running, kneeling and jumping.
Icing is a good way to counteract daily inflammation. In addition, wearing a knee strap-style brace just below the patella can help relieve tension.
