Hey guys,
Iv got a bump/lump on the top of my knee cap which has been causing me some pain when i jump or squat.. Or even just flex my quad.

Iv seen a doctor and had an xray and bone scan done, and the doc just recons its quad tendonitis...

Can tendonitis actualy cause a lump ?

Yea, thats very common with tendonitis to be able to actually see some of the swelling around the knee, particularly the sides.  Make sure you rest it, anti inflammatory meds can help but they wont stop you from aggravating the injury if you dont get to the route of the problem.  Foam roll the it bands, stretch the quads, glutes, hams, and hip flexors, make sure form is good on squats and other lower body lifts, and include plenty of hamstring work in your training.

yup i have two 'lumps' (osgood schlotters bumps) on both patellar tendon insertions, from quad tendonitis when i was young.

sucks, ice helps a ton.. finding out what is inflaming it is important too, might need to avoid certain things for a while.

Hey Adarqui, I have two Osgood Schlatter's bumps as well. On each knee.  I'm 21 and I guess I am still technically growing maybe? so I still suffer from pain when I bend my knees and shift weight forward.  When I play basketball often, the pain accumulates.  How do u cope with it.  The worst thing is when I play and it kind of really hurts like as if an injury happened, and then for a few weeks, I can't play with 100% of my athleticism.
