An article from the New York Times (Feb. 17, 2009) on a new, experimental treatment for various kinds of tendinitis: platelet-rich plasma therapy

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/sports/17blood.html?hp=&pagewanted=all Because this is still an experimental therapy with mixed results so far, I encourage you to focus on eccentric exercise for chronic patellar tendinopathy.
