I recently have met the same problem as you have. My trainer has told me that it is best to stay out of runing for a while, because it is going to make your knee worse especially if you are running on dirt track. I strongly advise you to go to a professional as soon as you can and stop running for a while. But since you wouldn't have many days left in the season, i guess you have to keep running. Then massage it with a hot pack and then ice it. Icing it everyday will help your knee. Also, don't over work your legs for now and try to stay out of sprinting if you have a speed workout or something.

Having had tendonitis and repetitive-movement accidents ago, I are not able to emphasize sufficient that you just see a healthcare professional for this situation. He/she is going to let you know the foremost cures are a wrist splint, an anti inflammatory, ice for agony, and lowering your use of the affected limbs and the pastime that is exacerbating the situation. If you utilize a laptop, make specified your workspace is ergonomically equipped for you, has wrist aid, and a keyboard that's slanted. Your mouse pad too can have wrist aid. Try Microsoft's ergo keyboard, to look if it would be just right for you. I finally sought 2 extra cures, that proved strong: acupuncture and bodily medication. Acupunture stimulates essential circulate to the locations in agony, and likewise avoided nerve harm to my thumb. Physical medication re-taught a few of my muscular tissues to paintings in an additional approach than they have been accustomed, in order that I did not re-injure the nerves and muscular tissues such a lot affected. These don't seem to be merchandise such a lot as treating the supply of the predicament. Hope this is helping. Good success!

Stay away from the cortizone . . . It breaks down the tissue and you will begin to rely on it only making the problem worse. First you will need to start icing after events. The ice will reduce any inflamation. Then I would seek a sports massage therapist such as myself. Make sure that you are going to someone who specializes in sports massage. Get references. This combination of massage and facilitated stretching along with hydrotherapy should take care of any tendonitis issues. If problems continue, see your team trainer for a referral.

seriously, go to an orthopedic dr. they can give you medications and offer other forms of treatment that can be really helpful.. i transcribe for an orthopedist, and a good portion of his patient's have tendinitis and many are effectively treated!!

Go to an orthopedic Dr. They can put cortisone shots in it and you will get relief. Good luck.
