Quadricep tendonitis

The verdict is in, that's my problem but it's fairly mild. My flexibility isn't affected and the Physical Therapist (PT) says it doesn't sound like a long term injury. He recommended direct ice to the spot for 8-10 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation, and commented that I didn't need to worry about swelling so no more elevated legs and anti-inflammation pills. I'm headed to Seattle today until Monday, so that should give me enough time. I'm just worried about walking too much and irritating it, but we'll see what happens.
