Quad/Tendon Pain...Any advice/ideas??

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I have noticed that after a bout of intensive excercise i can feel a bump on the top of my knee cap
where it meets the quad - this bump hurts if i press down on it. Could this be an inflamed patellar
tendon?, it only hurts when i put pressure on the bump, although the knee does feel stiff and gives
me some clicking. A set of medium squats without proper warmup brought this on:(. Any
ideas/treatment advice would be appreciated.

cheers, Alex
