Patellar tendonitis

Help me Veeky Forums has anyone has long term experience with this.
I was well on my way to making it and this has ruined everything. I have tried PT, resting for months stretching, foam rolling. Nobody seems to record success stories on the Internet. I am beginning to give up on ever squatting and deadlifting again

No one knows how strong your deadlift and squat are. Just skip those. You can still make it.

Seriously though. This should have been gone by now. Take a week rest again and just do the regular 3x10 leg lifts they gave you at pt and stretch. Tendonitis is a result of overuse. Foam rollling is a meme. No stairs, no sports. No one-legged shit. Bending over doesn't help either. Don't wear a brace because that will just make your muscles around the knee weaker.

Tips on stretches that don't make my knee hurt afterwards?
A week? this has been for years, I even get inflamed from sitting down in a seat for an hour.

What is your flexibility?

Low, i can't sit back on my heels and i can't touch my toes.

what kind of stuff have you been doing so far? Any hamstring work?
walking and light cycling also helps and relieves pain for a bit.

then you have no business squatting and deadlifting anyway

you need the flexbility, wth did your pt say. Just do 3x10 leg lifts they told showed you and stretch on the bed. Do everything lying down. You need to stretch until it goes away

i was doing stiff legs for a while, ~2.25 pl8 for sets of 8.
Recently got back into squats but decided it was probs doing more damage than rehab.
Bought a slant board but i am wary of it as i feel it flares up my good knee.
Seem to have no problem with hitting depth on squats?

I have had it for over 2 years now.
I have rested for a complete year and recently tried to get back into squatting. The pain is still there. This is the worst fucking injury.
