k man--- when they diagnosed you with patella tendonosis, what scans did they do; what injuries have you suffered from in the past? what were their recommendations?

X rays, MRI, and bone scan.. I play a highly repeatitve sport and have had some sore knees awhile back, and I just popped some vioxx for a quick fix to mask the pain for awhile. I was stupid and young, and thought time off would lose me sponsors and money. I have done rehab to strenghten my hips, t band, quads, you name it. I have also taken time off, and was prescribed dexamethasone to strenghten the tendon. The doctors said that at my age and in my current situation, that I can just rough it out for the rest of my career, but it is limiting me, and frustrating.. Any advice is appreciated, and thanks for the response and concern..

what sport do you play and what position? if you dont want to answer this on the board, i understand if it is to personal, but you could also PM me if you feel comfortable.

Have you looked into Prolotherapy or PRP? I have read very good things about this treatment and am considering having it done. I have Tendinopothy in my right knee and it sucks, can't run, can't jump, slowly withering away without intense cardio.

If anyone on here has had it and can give some results, that would be appreciated.
