Patellar tendon rehab update

My legs are feeling a lot better today.  I would say about 60% to complete recovery.  I took a 2 week break from the gym.  My right knee was killing me!  Oh the pain never stops!!! I had to take some Motrin to get rid of the imflamation.

I felt a sharp tendonitis type pain behind my patellar tendon / knee cap; so I went to see the doctor two weekends in a row.  I got a lidocaine shot for my shin splint, and some accupuncture around the knees.  The doc told me the tendon was VERY tight.  It felt like someone was pushing on my knee cap all the time.  He told me it very well could be from the scar tissue putting pressure on the tendon, therefore tighting my knee cap.  The acupuncture did help relieve the tightness.

Its frustrating because this put my rehab on the back burner for 2 weeks.  I ended up doing a lot of research about the benefits of deep tissue massage, accupuncture, and ultrasound to break up scar tissue.  Its kind of how you rub a bruise till its gone (Chinese style to break up the bruise).  So for the past 3 days I've been doing a lot of unltra sound, and deep tissue massage on my knees.  I'm feeling a Hell of alot better!  I guess dr. google. helps! 

Lets see how long i can keep this up.

The Ultrasound Machine I've been using.  Cheap, but it works wonders!  Also great for muscle spasms.
