LL = Left Leg. RL = Right Leg
Patellar Tendon
- Diffuse and very nasty pain all across the face of the patella - spreading up from the lower focal pain spot (RL)
- Sharp pain just where it joins the patella - felt quite deep inside (RL)
- Occasionally unstable and gives way (RL)
- Audible crackling noise wen going from a straight locked leg to a small amount of bend whilst the tendon stays tensed (RL)
- Squashy feeling (RL)
- Does not look (when fully relaxed) quite as substantial as the left one and has a slight concave. No visible difference between legs when patella tendon tensed
- Palpable (but not really audible) creaking when the tendon is tensed a bit and then gently touched (LL and RL)
- As if my trouser knee fabric were wet and cold even when the skin in warm and dry - really weird feeling (perhaps neurological?) (LL and RL)
- Prickly burning feeling
Quadriceps Tendon
- Palpable (but not really audible) creaking when the tendon tensed a bit and then gently touched
- Warm (but not to the touch)
- Prickly, mild burning feeling
- Tingling (neurological? - in fact this was the very first symptom I ever had - imagine if I'd taken a few weeks out then...sigh....)
- Wasted VMO caused by limping and avoiding that leg
