If it the tendinitis is now a tendinosis, my best bet is that you will have to be doing alot of eccentric.
It hurts like hell, and you will probably swear, but its been proven that exercising in eccentric is the way to go. Takes around 12 weeks to get back on track but the eccentric movement promote a reorganization of the cells.

dealt with this pain off and all a lot. I found the best method for aiding in the healing process is eccentric lifting as mentioned above. Aka light slow decent squats.

MOST IMPORTANTLY. It is probably caused by a muscular imbalance of the glutes. I found that single leg exercises such as bulgarian split squats and single leg deadlifts, clam shells, and crab walks helped a lot.

we've talked about it alot in my classes and the inflammation that comes from a tendinitis and the tendinosis that follows it create a desorganization at the cellular levels, and the fibers changes into conjunctive tissue. The way to promote the muscular cells to come back into a realignment is to go do the eccentric part of a movement and skip the concentric part.

I have it in my left knee right now and I had it in my right knee.

Usually its caused by a muscular imbalance and/or tight muscles.

In my right knee it was caused by my IT band being excessively tight and my VMO being weak. As a result the IT band would pull on my knee cap and cause pain. By loosening up the IT band and strengthening the VMO I was able to balance out the opposing forces and eliminate the pain.

In my left knee I think the pain is caused by tight muscles from overuse (did a crazy hike recently that triggered it). Loosening up my muscles and rest seems to help.

do i really need you to link you to articles?
just pm me if ur interested

but im just gonna leave this part here:

Eccentric Exercises
Eccentric exercises have been proposed to increase the remodeling process of the collagen fibers in the patellar tendon. This process causes the musculoskeletal unit to adapt to protect itself from the stress related to physical activity. Excellent results have been reported in athletes and nonathletic patients. Findings suggest that eccentric exercises have positive effects with no adverse reactions.16 A recent systematic review concluded that eccentric exercises are the only treatment of patellar tendinopathy that has the support of high-level evidence.17 Therefore, we advocate the use of eccentric exercises as the initial treatment for most patients with patellar tendinopathy, especially when the disorder is in the early stages.
Several different types of eccentric patellar tendon loading exercises are available. In a systematic review, Visnes and Bahr 18 concluded that the ability to specify which protocol component is responsible for the positive effects in patellar tendinopathy is limited. The available studies, which are small and of variable quality, indicate that the treatment program should include a decline board, should be performed with some level of discomfort, and should include the removal of athletes from sports activity.

The eccentric part of a movement is the movement where you control your limb against the gravity.
For your quad, if ur in a sitting position, hips flexed at 90degrees, it would be the movement of letting ur foot slowly go down to the floor starting from a complete extension (im french so i might not be SO clear, so here's a pic)

Concentric is where you shorten/squeeze the fibers, bringing inserts close to each other while eccentric is where you are elonging (is that a word?) The fibers, stretching them.
