Question:
Is it safe for me to run since I have tendinitis?
I'm a 15 year old cheerleader and I started getting pain in my knees for about 4 months, and I went to my doctor last month and he told me that I have tendinitis. He suggested physical therapy twice a week for 8 weeks, but I never went. I was pain free for about a month and I thought that I was doing well but last week my knees started hurting again. I wanna get back into shape, because I hate being inactive and some people tell me that its good to run when you have knee pain. Is this true?
Answers:
you should get a knee brace designed to help with tendinitis and maybe try to do the physical therapy. you can run, but too much activity will make the pain worse.
