Phew!! Finally I am at the tail end of a very painful, week long flare up. The patellar tendonitis flare up was severe on Saturday/Sunday, then slowly eased up. For a couple days I did just a partial rehab workout with slow biking if I could do it.
This morning - one week after the incident - I was able to complete all of my rehab exercises! I am a little tender still, but very glad I was able to do my exercises. Not to mention wearing normal pants too. Wow, what a difference in your mental state and attitude when you are able to perform exercises. Here is what I did at 8.5 months post op:
Rising out of a chair with two normal feet seems so simple but it was near impossible until recently. I guess that's progress? Here is the Bosu ball that I purchased on eBay for $37 including shipping! I don't use the resistance bands. If you look up #bosuball on Instagram there are a ton of ideas. I have plans to use this througout rehab.
