i had the same prob too bro, i got rid of it,. #1, make sure you stretch your hip flexors, IT bands and hamstrings,.(No one stretches IT bands, Very important!)

#2 use the quad machine at the gym, put very light weight on in like 20lbs or so and do 3 sets of 15 single leg, rotate your leg inward for 1 set and outward 1 set and 1 normal set. 3 sets each leg, its great for blood flow

#3 do this if you can

With these 3 things I got rid of my jumpers knee with little rest

Ice ive had it quite sevearly for about 3-4 years and ice is so important. I ice it after every practice,run and gym session. I dont like doing single leg exercises because i think it puts to much stress on the tendon. But back/front squats and quad machine have helped me alot also. Also if it gets real bad just take a week of from all exercise i know its hard but it can do wonders

Ever heard the saying "if it hurts then do not do it"? Try not jumping off of it and just focus on strengthening and stretching (warmed up muscles) the muscles around it no more than 3 times a week. Do that for a month or two and it'll go away. Intense stationary biking and hamstring curls should do the trick

There are many excerises that will help with this. Mike Guadango has a website freakstrength . com there is a video specifically for knee rehab and has some great pre exercise workouts to do.

Also it may help to stretch your body parts surrounding your knees. Weak hips result in many leg injuries or pains. Get flexible in your hips and strengthen them and it will reduce the pain in your knees.
