Tibial tuberosity

[andyfitz]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any similar looking knee bumps..

As a teenager I definitely suffered with Osgood schlatters disease

As an adult in my twenties experienced chronic tendinopathy

In recent years it’s settled, mainly I think it’s benefited from freeing up the quads and hip flexors, improving ankle dorsiflexion and including exercises like natural leg extensions

I’ve never been as active with regard to playing sports or weight training 

but it is prone to a ‘on fire type of sensation’ particularly first thing in the mornings.

 

it would be great to hear anyone else’s experience.. or if there are any other suggestions ..

I have seen surfers from the old days (when kneeling was the way people paddled), but not so much recently. Have any other practitioners had any sensible suggestions? And how long before the morning "fire" sensation goes away?

Thanks for the reply

 

It can  a few hours or even linger for a couple of days. Sitting or driving for long periods seems to provoke it most

Perhaps gentle rolling on a soft surface might help. Anyone else have any suggestions?
