I'm a sprinter/pole vaulter/martial artist and about two years ago I tore my acl skiing. I did the patellar tendon autograph because that is supposedly the strongest. Now two years later I have pretty painful tendonitis because of that autograph. I heat my knee up before running or vaulting and do a-stim or ultrasound, and ice afterward but it never seems to get much better. Is there anything else i can do? Take HGH? Acupuncture? Something?
I have a very good friend/fellow vaulter in the same situation. Except she got it from overtraining and it got so bad for her that she could barely walk. She got surgery for it and they did some debridement and I'm not sure what else, it was supposed to fix the problem but it's been 6 months since surgery and it's no better if not worse. I mean this girl was a 4 time state champ in the 100m and pole vault, now she walks around like an old woman with a knee replacement. Any feedback would be helpful! Thank you so much!
