Subject: Quad tendonitis on the bike and 7 weeks from IM

I've developed knee pain while cycling above my patella where the quad tendon attaches.  It started about 6 weeks ago and probably was brought on by a lot of climbing on my tri bike. 

At this point I am looking for ways to manage the injury and still keep some sort of training going as I am 7 weeks from IM Boulder.  I've switched my biking to the trainer as any really ascending aggravates it.  I'm doing PT, icing it, and will do some Ibuprofen flooding.  I also stretch the quad religiously and roll the quad daily.  I also had my bike fit looked at again and we made some minor cleat adjustments.

Has anyone had any luck with any taping techniques, knee braces, etc. for a quick fix?  Anything else that has helped with this?  I understand rest is the key but it's really not an option for me right now.

I have noticed an occasional pain in my left hip flexor. The pain is most noticeable when running uphill. Is there a way to fix the problem without taking time off from training?
