Re: [kneesurgeryforum] Not much recovery after 4 months

I got diagnosed with tendonitis when I was about 3 1/2
months out. It sure does make leg extensions painful.
Basically I've had to back way off on my exercises to
let that heal. Does anyone have any experience with
the sports brace? I have to wear one now and I'm very
self-conscious about it.
