TIBIAL TUBEROSITY
My right leg 's tibial tuberosity had swollen due to overstrain /overuse. It's been 16 days now that I have stopped physical activity like running and games like basketball.
It had never happened before. Doctor adviced me to get CRP and Uric acid tests . CRP was within limit , no problem. But Uric acid came out to be 7.2 . X ray showed normal according to the doctor. So doctor adviced me to take the medicine which I have mentioned below. But now whenever I get up after sleep, the same spot seems to be swollen and I kind of feel something at the spot. How much time does it usually take . Should I get a MRI done? I want to continue physical activity as soon as possible.
Hi. It can be very well because of the mismatch between the length of the tendon of quadriceps and patellar tendon. This condition is sometimes precipitated after events of sports and running. Sometimes the imbalance between the strength between the muscles of the front of thigh and back of thigh can cause knee issues.
This needs evaluation to be sure what exactly the condition is. Ultrasonic therapy can be helpful.

Hello there
Well you have explained your problems in a very brief manner...for the timebeing everything seems to be going perfectly fine....you are having stress at the tibial tuberosity.
The tibial tuberosity forms the terminal part of the large structure that acts as a lever to extend the knee-joint and prevents the knee from collapsing when the foot strikes the ground.
The medication for uric acid is fine...but your TT stress may or may not be related to it.
Get back for proper evaluation and guidance.
Regards
