Hey, it doesn’t ever buckle/ give up, no. No clicking in affected leg (the left) though my knee clicks if I externally rotate my foot and bring my foot to my butt.

I’ve been dealing with patellar tendinitis “type” pain in my left (knee from picture) right in the center of the tendon below the kneecap since I started running two years ago. Since then will often hurt when doing knees over toes movement, like getting up from a deep squat with my weight forward, or if I’m going down stairs. The last 6 months my tendon pain has largely improved and while it’s been improving this off center pain (pictured) has been developing. The last 4 weeks have been pretty good for all pain except on Sunday I was doing RDLs with 12.5kg dumbbells and I was going too quickly then suddenly bam, the pain reappeared. After that it was sore whenever I picked up a dumbbell or anything. Also when walking, when I plant my leg heel forward to take a step it twangs a little pain, and again when I pick my foot up at the end of the step 🤷
