When I got tendonitis the doctor told me to get new shoes, stretch more, and either run less (he suggested swimming as an alternative) or run uphill on the treadmill (at least a 2.0 incline he said). In all reality I quit running because Im a lazy fuck, but I recently got back into it and 2 weeks of running 3-4 miles a day and the pain was already back. I went to another doctor and was told I have Patellofemoral pain syndrome, and he gave me a book of stretches to do. I also started taking Motrin (ibproufin I think) and it made my knees ache less because it reduced swelling.
