Has anyone else gotten tendinitis from heavy squats?

How long till it went away?

Also I’ve torn my ACL/MCL/Miniscus in the same knee

    Are you seeing a physical therapist? Tendinitis is tricky.

    tendinitis where, in your knee? i get it in my elbows but not from squats. I have a replaced ACL, tore mcl, damage etc, in one knee, and other than just being tight before i'm warmed up, i don't have problems, and i squat heavy twice a week. I wear tight compression knee sleeves which really helps, without them i would probably have discomfort. If i ever do something that does cause some pain in that knee, it just takes a few days before its better. Lunges wreck my knee, i don't do them anymore.
