In response to weinhauers_ghost
I wonder how effective this can be. I've managed chronic tendinitis in both knees since before I turned 30 (I'm 59 now), and played in rec leagues until I was in my early 40s. For the most part I was successful through consistent strength training focused on quadriceps and hamstrings, always being careful to warm up and stretch properly, and ice after playing.
At this point I don't play more than once a week, but I can still play.
From what I've read, I gather it really depends on what is causing the inflammation in the first place. If it's caused, at least in part, by chronic hyperinsulinemia, then reducing dietary carbohydrates might be beneficial. This is only anecdotal, but this approach seems to have helped me somewhat, and I have friends who swear that it had a major effect on them.
