I had/have knee pain this fall/winter.
A doc diagnosed it as tendonosis. He Rx'd PT and eccentric type exercises.
I started on my own journey instead. What I discovered was that I had been neglecting my quads, hip flexors and IT bands in a major way.
When I 1st started to roll, my legs were almost tight/tender to the touch of the roller. Just a little bit of work would make them sore. But continued use made all the muscles pliable, and now my knee does not hurt.
I alos stretch my quads after foam rolling.
