I have tendonitis-need advice
Okay, first off let me say that I'm kind of pissed b/c after about three months of solid gains, I have got patellar tendonitis. The doctor says it's from over-use, but I haven't done anything extra and have gotten plenty of rest on off-days of VJB and I only play ball once (competitive) a week and shoot around every morning. Nothing serious, but just to maintain form.
But anyways, it is patellar tendonitis of the lower knee (connecting to the shin)...I think it's from a muscle imbalance b/c when I think about it, my thighs aren't worked as much as my hamstrings, glutes...but that's just me
So should I just rest for a month and see what happens and lose all my gains and explosiveness? Or should I do light rehab weight-lifting to correct the imbalance? jumping is out b/c of the pain which means no plyos...but I can still lift weights without pain...6'3" 185 lbs. rvj-32" svj-29" 2-legged jumper
need help!!! TY in advance
