Answers:
Of course its curable. You need to focus on strengthening your hip and butt muscles b/c you are relying too much on your quad to do the work and that is causing the tendinitis on your quad tendon (that's what jumpers knee is). Also, there are straps that wrap around the tendon just below your knee cap to help take the stress off of you tendon. You can purchase these over the Internet. Just search for patella tendon strap.
