Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (rice) are the first steps following an ankle injury. After that, treatment depends on the specifics of the injury. Patellar tendinitis (patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee), is a relatively common cause of pain in the inferior patellar region in athletes. It is common with frequent jumping and studies have shown it may be associated with stiff ankle movement and ankle sprains
