what tests can i do to confirm if i have patellar tendinitis?

Question:

Answers:
Ah, Jumper's Knee. Well, your health care provider needs to perform a physical exam and have you do the squat test. This you could do at home but you will not be qualified to interpret and evaluate it as the symptoms of patellar tendinitis are similar to some other conditions. Your provider may also wish to order an ultrasound and/or MRI of your knee.

What you are asking is how you can self-diagnose. You can't and you shouldn't. You can suspect but only a health care provider (MD, NP, PA) can diagnose you.

Jumper's Knee is usually a result of sports injury or strain to the tendons from such activities as soccer and volleyball (to name two). If you are athletic and involved in a sport that requires jumping, and are experiencing pain and/or inflammation with swelling, it is possible that you have tendinitis. Let your doctor confirm it, my friend.
