Tendonitis means inflammation of a tendon. What does that feel like? Pain. Now, there are no tendons in the knee. Tendons are what connect your muscle to the bone. There are multiple tendons that cross the knee joint. Depending on which one is inflamed, pain will be in different locations around the knee.
Depending on where the location is patient will have pain especially when trying to move the joint in a certain direction
