Patella Tendonitis

I have it.
I've been stretching my quads but I feel fairly confident that by doing them it's irritating the tendon further. Everytime I stretch the quad I can feel the tendon, it feels like it's tightening and I feel a slight increase in pain when I release the leg.
I've been stretching hamstrings, icing, taking ibuprofen and if anything the tendons are getting worse, not better.
Has anyone else experienced this?
For info I felt a slight twinge during a ride and stopped riding. Since then I haven't ridden, that was two weeks ago and it's at least twice as bad now.
My quads aren't actually terribly tight and I regularly use a foam roller, I can happily use the roller for a while without it causing much pain.
