Patellar tendinitis
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/patellar-tendinitis/DS00625
Patellar tendinitis is an injury that affects the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. The patellar tendon plays a pivotal role in the way you use your leg muscles. It helps your muscles extend your knee so that you can kick a ball, run uphill and jump up in the air.
Patellar tendinitis is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball. For this reason, patellar tendinitis is commonly known as jumper's knee. However, even people who don't participate in jumping sports can experience patellar tendinitis.
For most people, treatment of patellar tendinitis begins with physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the knee.
Patellar tendinitis |
Pain is the first symptom of patellar tendinitis. The pain usually is located in the section of your patellar tendon between your kneecap (patella) and the area where the tendon attaches to your shinbone (tibia).
The pain in your knee may:
- Initially be present only as you begin physical activity or just after an intense workout
- Progress to the point that it interferes with your sports performance
- Eventually interfere with daily tasks such as climbing stairs or getting up from a chair
When to see a doctor
If you experience knee pain, try self-care measures first, such as icing the affected area and temporarily reducing or avoiding activities that trigger your symptoms.
Call your doctor if your pain:
- Continues or worsens
- Interferes with your ability to perform routine daily activities
- Is associated with swelling or redness about the joint
Patellar tendinitis is a common overuse injury. It occurs when you place repeated stress on your patellar tendon. The stress results in tiny tears in the tendon, which your body attempts to repair. But as the tears in the tendon become more numerous, they cause pain from inflammation and a weakening of the tendon structure. When this tendon damage persists over more than a few weeks, it is called tendinopathy.
Risk factors
A combination of factors may contribute to the development of patellar tendinitis, including:
- Intensity and frequency of physical activity. Repeated jumping is most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in the intensity of physical activity or increases in frequency of impact activity also put added stress on the tendon.
- Tight leg muscles. Reduced flexibility in your thigh muscles (quadriceps) and your hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, could increase the strain on your patellar tendon.
- Muscular imbalance. If some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis.
If you try to work through your pain, ignoring the warning signs your body is sending you, you could cause larger and larger tears in the patellar tendon. Knee pain and reduced function can persist if the factors contributing to patellar tendinitis are not addressed, and you may progress to the more chronic state of patellar tendinopathy.
Preparing for your appointment
If you have knee pain during or after physical activity and it doesn't improve with ice or rest, make an appointment with your doctor. After an initial exam, your doctor may refer you to a sports medicine specialist or to a doctor with advanced training in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- List any symptoms you've been having, and for how long.
- Write down your key medical information, including other conditions with which you've been diagnosed and all medications and supplements you're taking.
- Log your typical daily activity, including the length and intensity of sports practice or other exercise. Your doctor also will be interested to know if you've recently changed the frequency, intensity or method of your workouts.
- Note any recent injuries that may have damaged your knee joint.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor. Creating your list of questions in advance can help you make the most of your time with your doctor.
Below are some basic questions to ask a doctor who is examining you for possible patellar tendinitis. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
- What is the most likely cause of my signs and symptoms?
- Are there any other possible causes?
- Do I need any tests to confirm the diagnosis?
- What treatment approach do you recommend?
- With treatment, do you expect I will eventually be able to return to my current sport?
- How long will I need to avoid my current sport?
- What kind of workout routine can I safely follow while I'm healing, if any?
- What other self-care measures should I be taking?
- What is the likelihood that I will need surgery?
- How often will you see me to monitor my progress?
- Should I see a specialist?
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in depth. Your doctor may ask:
- What are your symptoms?
- When did you first notice these symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been getting worse?
- How severe is your pain?
- Does your pain occur before, during or after your workouts — or is it constant?
- Is the pain associated with any knee swelling, locking or instability?
- What is your regular exercise or sports-training routine?
- Have you recently made any changes to your training routine, such as training harder or longer, or using new techniques?
- Are you still able to perform your sport or preferred exercise at a satisfactory level?
- Are your symptoms affecting your ability to complete normal, daily tasks, such as walking up stairs?
- Have you tried any at-home treatments so far? If so, has anything helped?
- Have you recently had any injuries that may have caused knee damage?
- Have you been diagnosed with any other medical conditions?
- What medications are you currently taking, including vitamins and supplements?
Tests and diagnosis
During the physical exam, your doctor may apply pressure to different parts of your knee to determine exactly where you're experiencing pain. Pain associated with patellar tendinitis usually concentrates on the front part of your knee, just below your kneecap.
Imaging tests
Your doctor may also suggest one or more of the following imaging tests:
- X-rays. X-rays don't show the patellar tendon, but they do help to exclude other bone problems that could contribute to knee pain.
- Ultrasound. This test uses sound waves to create an image of your knee, revealing the location of tears in your patellar tendon.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create images that are more detailed than ultrasound images. MRI can reveal more-subtle changes in the patellar tendon.
Treatments and drugs
Doctors typically begin with less invasive treatments before considering other options, such as surgery.
Pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen (Aleve, others) may provide short-term relief from pain associated with patellar tendinitis.
A variety of physical therapy techniques can help reduce the symptoms associated with patellar tendinitis, including:
- Stretching exercises. Regular, steady stretching exercises can reduce muscle spasm and help lengthen the muscle-tendon unit. Don't bounce during your stretch.
- Strengthening exercises. Weak thigh muscles contribute to the strain on your patellar tendon. Eccentric exercises, which involve lowering your leg very slowly after you extend your knee, are particularly helpful.
- Patellar tendon strap. A strap that applies pressure to your patellar tendon can help to distribute force away from the tendon itself and direct it through the strap instead. This may help relieve pain.
- Iontophoresis. This therapy involves spreading a corticosteroid medicine on your skin and then using a device that delivers a low electrical charge to push the medication through your skin.
Surgical and other procedures
If conservative treatments haven't helped, your doctor may suggest other therapies such as:
- Corticosteroid injection. An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection into the sheath around the patellar tendon may help relieve pain. But these types of drugs can also weaken tendons and make them more likely to rupture.
- Platelet-rich plasma injection. An injection of platelet-rich plasma has been tried in some people with chronic patellar tendon problems. Studies are ongoing. It is hoped the injections might promote new tissue formation and help heal tendon damage.
- Surgery. If conservative approaches aren't helping after many months of treatment, in rare cases your doctor might suggest surgical intervention for the patellar tendon. Some of these procedures can be accomplished through small incisions around your knee.
Lifestyle and home remedies
If you think you're experiencing patellar tendinitis, consider these approaches to pain relief at home:
- Pain relievers. Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and naproxen may provide short-term relief from pain associated with patellar tendinitis.
- Avoid activity that causes pain. This may mean reducing how often you practice your sport or temporarily switching to a lower impact sport. Don't try to work through the pain, as this can further damage your patellar tendon.
- Ice. Apply ice after activity that causes pain. Place ice in a plastic bag and wrap the bag in a towel. Or try an ice massage. Freeze water in a plastic foam cup and hold the cup as you apply the ice directly to your skin.
To reduce your risk of developing patellar tendinitis, take these steps:
- Don't play through pain. As soon as you notice exercise-related pain your knee, take a break and apply ice to the painful area while you rest. Until your knee is pain-free, avoid activities that put stress on your patellar tendon.
- Strengthen your muscles. Strong thigh muscles are better able to handle the types of stresses that can cause patellar tendinitis. Eccentric exercises, which involve lowering your leg very slowly after extending your knee, are particularly helpful.
- Improve your technique. If your technique in an activity or exercise is flawed, you could be setting yourself up for problems with your tendons. Consider taking lessons or getting professional instructions when starting a new sport or using exercise equipment.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Five area players have been selected to the Mid-Hudson team for next month's Summer Hoops Festival Tournament presented by the Basketball Coaches Association of New York.
Kingston High's Shantyce Brodhead, Red Hook's Kyla Gabriel and Julianne Wilkinson, plus Heather Kiczek and Chelsea Murphy of Wallkill were chosen to the 12-member squad.
The round-robin event, which was created to provide a summer basketball tournament after the Empire State Games was cancelled two years ago, begins Aug. 3 in Johnson City.
Brodhead, a senior this coming fall, is a guard who finally got to show her stuff on the varsity level last year after missing all of the 2010-11 season with an ACL injury.
She displayed a good outside shot and tenacity under the boards for the Tigers and is expected to be a main scorer next season. Brodhead missed a quarter of the past Kingston campaign with a fractured pinkie.
Gabriel and Wilkinson were two of the key cogs in Red Hook reaching the Mid-Hudson Athletic League final and winning the Section 9, Class A championship.
Gabriel, a senior, averaged eight points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists as the Raiders' point guard. Wilkinson, a junior, developed into Red Hook's leading scorer (averaging 17 points a game) and shot 75 percent from the foul line.
Kiczek and Murphy will be key members in Wallkill's fortunes this winter after solid freshman seasons.
Kiczek, a 6-foot-1 center, averaged 5.2 points and 4.5 rebounds for the Panthers. The 5-7 Murphy averaged 5.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists.
Also on the team are Spackenkill's Anna Thompson, Haliann Fitzgerald of Valley Central, Washingtonville's JeanAnn Korona, Dominique Nutt of John S. Burke Catholic, Tuxedo's Kaylah Pinkney, Renee Briggs of Cornwall, and Emma Weiss of Goshen.
Cornwall's Don Miller is the head coach.
There are nine regional teams in the tournament. The Mid-Hudson squad placed last in 2011.

This week is AmeriCorps Week. Pablo W. Best and I, along with all the VISTAs in Illinois, were asked to do a project focusing on food security. We will be hosting a virtual food drive starting March 14 - March 21.
Feeding America understands hunger!
Feeding America is the leading domestic hunger relief organization, with network food banks serving every state. Feeding America's nationwide network of over 200 food banks provides food and groceries to 33,500 food pantries, 4,500 soup kitchens and 3,600 emergency shelters. This extensive network helps feed 37 million Americans each year -- delivering over 3 billion pounds of food. Each week nearly 5.7 million people receive emergency food assistance from an agency served by a Feeding America member.
Will you support my virtual food drive today?
Every dollar you give to my virtual food drive helps provide EIGHT meals to people served by the Feeding America network. When was the last time your dollar bought eight of anything? I hope you'll agree: by coming together, we can help end hunger in America. Give as much as you can -- every bit counts!
Thank you.

10 facts about diabetes
Reviewed October 2013
WHO/A. Waak
The burden of diabetes is increasing globally, particularly in developing countries. The causes are a complex, but are in large part due to rapid increases in overweight, obesity and physical inactivity.
Although there is good evidence that a large proportion of cases of diabetes and its complications can be prevented by a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco, this evidence is not widely implemented.
Coordinated action is needed from the level of international and national policy to reduce exposure to the known risk factors for diabetes and to improve access to and quality of care.

Following that is a Premiere XL model priced at $249 that goes up to 150 hours of HD. Finally Premiere Elite will be offered for $399, that's $100 than the previous Elite model, and it can record four shows at once for up to 300 hours of HD
Of course you still need to pay the monthly service fee. If you have one TiVo, the rate is $14.99/month. Multiple TiVo owners get a discount, only $12.99/month for each device. You can also pay a one-time fee of $499 to cover service for the lifetime of the unit (or $399 each if you're a multi-unit household).
Unlike your cable-supplied DVR, these set-top-boxes also offer an assortment on streaming video and audio services such as Netflix, Pandora, Amazon and Hulu Plus.
The new models go on sale March 25th.

Here's why: -The corporation was started in April 2010. Since you did not file form 2553 (not 2253 as stated in the OP), the corporation is considered a C-corporation for the duration of 2010. C-corporations that have zero income effectively have 0 tax penalty because tax penalties are based on %age of income (net amount due). You should still file a standard 1120 for 2010 and declare 0 income to establish a paper trail for the IRS. http://blog.pappastax.com/index.php/2009/09/15/s-corporation-loss-limitations/ -S-corps do have penalty based on # of shareholders (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/usc_sec_26_00006699----000-.html) for failure to file return but since you didn't declare the company as an S-corporation, there's no fee for 2010. -Retroactively declaring a S-Corp? Here's some more info: http://taxes.about.com/od/scorporations/a/scorp_formation_2.htm | |||
You should file as soon as possible. The instructions for the Form 1120S says Late filing of return. That's enough to get my attention. I would check out "reasonable cause". If you aren't successful getting the penalty abated, then consider the fact that your corporation does not have any assets with which it can pay those penalties. So, if this turns out to be a financial disaster, the corporation could just recognize its insolvency and not pay the penalties. I am not a lawyer, but I think that as an investor in a corporation, you would probably not be liable for its debts. To begin again, you would have to form a new corporation. | |||||

Pictures: 'The Bachelorette' best and worst
With this season of "The Bachelorette," almost over, we break down some of the show's highs and lows.
Image 1 of 10
Best pirate beard: Ryan ("Fluff Head")
Chris: It took weeks to cultivate and then hours of pre-date pruning to perfect. Jack Sparrow has nothing on Ryan's perfectly coiffed facial fur. However, do any women find this look attractive?

Why? He already has invis. Maybe it gives extra dmg, but with that money you could buy sb or sols or riftshards...
Suggestion to improve the replay system:
Ppl want perma invis..
Sometimes I wonder why guys like boobs. Then I grab my own tits and remember why.
I think most people picked it up before the shieldbreaker buff, haven't seen it rushed at all lately. The idea was to use it along with sandstorm and mirage to build up wanderer charges after every hit.
It's still a good item because of genjuro.
I'll never forget what I felt that day...
I, want to be a Hero of Justice!
The bonus damage from shroud stacks with his passive, so its essentialy a 250 bonus damage (which is ALOT). Making him able to use mirage strike, shroud strike, then mirage strike again.
With this combo, he can kill people by himself, and quickly aswell (before the tp's come in).
The ability to combo people down to 10%, or to actually kill them alone, is a big deal.
It's definitely possible if you know how to play well.
Yep exactly what Ripoff said, killing smb before he can cast anything is a big deal.
It works great >1700 or so. Invis>Autoattack>Mirage>Autoattack>Ult.
Usually by the time you land that 3rd attack, they are desperately trying to stun you. The shockwave ult will typically kill them; if they are smart they will just run instead of attacking your ult, in which case sandstorm slows them down and makes it easier to land more hits.
Noobs don't buy dust or eyes, so this will get you repeated immortals. Against any competent players, the shroud is a bad idea.

A former firefighter convicted of burning down his home and damaging two of his neighbors' homes, has been sentenced to two years behind bars and three years extended supervision. However, he will receive credit for the 350 days he's already spent in jail.
In November, Keith Rosenow, 46, reached a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded no contest to one count of 2nd degree recklessly endangering safety and one count of unsafe burning of own building. Two other counts were dismissed.
According to Judge Greg Grau, Rosenow had been a firefighter with the Weston Fire Department for 16 years, but left in 2001.
Police say he started a fire at his home in the Lazy Acres Mobile Home park in Wausau on January 31, 2012. According to the criminal complaint, it was revenge against the manager for evicting him.
Rosenow's wife, Kathleen, 42, is also charged in the case. She's charged with unsafe burning of own building, and three counts of 2nd degree recklessly endangering safety, along with obstructing an officer.
Kathleen Rosenow's jury trial is scheduled in April and is expected to last two days. She's free on a $10,000 signature bond.

In a previous post, I concluded that financial institutions who can significantly improve the consumer experience while simultaneously ensuring the safety of their customers' money and personal information will win the hearts, minds, trust and, ultimately, business of their competitors' customers.
While I believe this to be true, still, financial institutions are no longer the sole determinant of their brand. Today, customers are a prime driver of brand. If they are dissatisfied, they will walk, and follow up by posting their opinions on Google, Facebook, and everywhere else your prospective customers will see it. Because of social media, the consumer's voice is louder than ever… and it's about to get louder.
We are on the cusp of a major transformation in the financial services industry, where the success of the entire enterprise is dependent on the customer experience and its ability to service its customers' needs. Over the next several years, we will see a market shift where financial institutions are no longer able to define their own brands. Instead, the consumer will define them. Banks that understand this shift, and alter their business processes to invisibly and non-intrusively improve the customer experience and ensure consumer safety, will gain a competitive advantage that will significantly improve top and bottom-line performance for their shareholders.
For example, take a look at some of the top reasons for customer dissatisfaction. If you eliminate product factors such as line assignment, fees or interest rates, one of the main reasons for customer dissatisfaction is poor customer service due to a lack of trust and respect for the customer's time. This is often caused by highly disruptive "customer interrogation," or knowledge-based authentication (KBA). Yet, banks and financial institutions continue to rely on this outdated, costly and time-consuming method to identify customers over the telephone. In an industry where seconds count for average handle time (AHT), it is a huge frustration for the customer. This is why it's no surprise that KBA is having a negative impact on financial institutions and their brands.
How a customer feels during and after phone interactions is a significant differentiator, yet too many banks have lost sight of what consumers really want. Current fraud prevention strategies – many of which are still focused on KBA – are at odds with both customer care and the bottom line. KBA is no longer a viable and sustainable method for validating caller identity and is creating an even bigger disconnect between fraud prevention strategies and customer care goals. Instead of endless customer questioning, imagine your IVR picking up every call by saying:
"Thank you for calling (Company Name). For your security, we have validated your phone number. How may we assist you today?"
This streamlined telephone interaction can be a reality with the telephone firewall. The TrustID® Telephone FirewallTM solution provides financial institutions with a competitive differentiator that enhances the customer relationship while simultaneously improving fraud prevention.
By eliminating interrogation at the start of each inbound call and giving the customer more perceived control over the bank/customer relationship, TrustID is paving the way for financial institutions to transform the customer experience. Customers want to be trusted and respected, and demand both safety and convenience. The TrustID telephone firewall is paramount to a mutually trusting relationship between customers and their banks, and proves that the bottom line and customer service do not have to be at odds with each other.

Coral do Mar is a small boutique winery in the Northwest corner of Spain in a region called Rias Baixes. It is home to one of the most exciting and unusual grapes in the world. Albarino is the signature grape variety of the region, just like how Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature variety from Napa Valley. Spain produces mostly red wine and has many famous red wine regions. However, it is in this cool maritime region of R?as Baixas that white grapes excel producing the finest white wines of Spain. Even if you are a dedicated red wine drinker, these wines will convert you with their distinctive structure, rich aromatics, fruit intensity and long, dry, crisp finish. While the different sub-zones of Rias Baixes express subtle differences, the wines all share a number of characteristics. They are typically pale golden lemon colored, elegant and fresh. Bone-dry and aromatic, these wines are packed with flavors of white peach, apricot, melon, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. The wine has good natural acidity, mineral overtones and are medium-bodied with moderate alcohol. A few of the sub-districts in Rias Baixas are more prone to blending Albarino with some other indigenous grapes which can make the wines more aromatic or fuller-bodied. Both single variety Albarino and blended wines excel in this area. Aromatic and light, one whiff of these whites may bring thoughts of a Sauvignon Blanc but after one sip the creamy texture says otherwise. Typical aromas and flavors are peach, honeysuckle, lime and vanilla. White wine made entirely from the Albari?o grape variety from their vineyards in the designation of origin Rias Baixas is an incredible delight. The vineyard is lined in trellises, which allow for clusters that are perfectly airy and sunny. The granitic terrain helps avoid many of the pesticides and provides naturally low acidity. This also helps bring forth the delicate aroma and fresh taste characteristic of this varietal. This selection offers an explosion of ripe tropical fruit with myriad flavors of lychee, guava and honeysuckle. It is no less than inspirational and deserves an appropriate food like crab in black bean or lobster sauce. October Limited Series Newsletter (.pdf)

Continuing with our review of the NBA's Western Conference, we move on to the Pacific Division. Long owned by the Lakers, there's a new player in town with the cross-town Clippers. Stealing a page from showtime's playbook, the Clippers beat the Lakers to the punch in landing Chris Paul. The Lakers were hopeful of landing Paul and Dwight Howard to run with Kobe Bryant, but now it appears even Superman has a preference of teaming up with Blake Griffin. We take a look at how each team is faring thus far, with a look at the best free agent bargain for each club based on Flea Flicker league availability.
The NBA regular season is finally underway and with that we wrap up our conference previews. The Pacific Division is the last of our Western Conference previews. This season promises to be a battle of Los Angeles with the holdover Lakers trying to stave off the up and coming Clippers. Check Fantasy Alarm's Talking Hoops all season long as we track players on the move in Flea Flicker leagues and provide the latest information that impacts not only wagering but fantasy basketball as well.

I just was trying this magazine and it had information and prices of products that I couldn't relate too.
I will not order again.
I love Town & Country magazine. It gives me ideas for down the road. It's amazing what people come up with. I also pass this magazine on to others.
I always enjoyed reading Town and Country magazine at the doctor's office but thought it was too pricey to purchase my own subscription. Through Magazine.com, I was able to subscribe at a reasonable fee. I truly look forward to this magazine every month and read it cover to cover. The articles are interesting, informative and out of the ordinary - all enhanced with beautiful photos. The magazine covers a broad range of topics including fashion, home, and travel. Even their ads are gorgeous and out of the ordinary introduce me to products I wouldn't normally see.
I first saw Town & Country at a doctor's office in 1991 and I have been hooked ever since! The horoscope in this magazine is the most accurate I have ever found and I have told family and friends who also now subscribe! It's a fun thing to look forward to receiving every month!
