Knee pain can significantly affect your ability to walk, run, or participate in daily activities. One common cause of knee discomfort, especially in active individuals, is patellar tendonitis—also known as jumper’s knee. This condition involves inflammation or degeneration of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone.
