lets start

Hi!
I was thinking I might as well start a blog about Jumper´s knee, since the information and knowledge about this condition is scarce, contradictory and generally confusing.

I am 45 years old, I used to play volleyball at a pretty decent level when i was in my late teens and yearly twenties. when i turned 43 I decided that it would be a good idea to take up playing again.

Bang, my jumper´s knee came back.

I have tried a whole bunch of different treatments/strategies.

NSAID Voltaren and the like
ESWT External shockwave treatment
Ashtanga Yoga
exxentric training on a 25 degree decline board
Feldenkrais type introspection of my movement patterns
general weight training using free weights

None of these have worked out perfectly for me
.
Right now I am doing a five day treatment with NSAID, I plan on following up with 4-6 weeks ofrest (trying to stay away from anything that puts stress on my knee)
when I am free of pain, (can you imagine?) i plan on doing mainly eccentric squats for at least 6 weeks.
