Knee Bursitis Treatment

Knee bursitis causes painful swelling in one of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint, often affecting people who kneel frequently or engage in repetitive knee movement. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective knee bursitis treatment in Indore to relieve pain and inflammation.

About Knee Bursitis Treatment

The knee has several bursae that reduce friction between bones, tendons, and skin during movement. Prepatellar bursitis, commonly known as housemaid’s knee, and pes anserine bursitis are among the most frequently seen types in clinical practice. Repeated kneeling, direct trauma, or underlying joint conditions can trigger inflammation of these sacs, leading to visible swelling and discomfort that can interfere with daily activities.

Symptoms of Knee Bursitis Treatment

• Visible swelling at the front or side of the knee
• Pain that worsens with kneeling or direct pressure
• Warmth and redness over the swollen area
• Stiffness with knee bending
• Tenderness to touch

Causes of Knee Bursitis Treatment

• Prolonged or repeated kneeling
• Direct trauma or a fall onto the knee
• Overuse from running or cycling
• Underlying arthritis or gout
• Infection through a skin break near the joint

Diagnosis

• Physical examination of the swollen area
• Ultrasound to confirm fluid within the bursa
• Fluid aspiration and analysis if infection is suspected
• X-ray to rule out associated bone injury

Treatment Options

• Rest and avoidance of kneeling or pressure
• Ice application and anti-inflammatory medication
• Aspiration of excess fluid for symptom relief
• Corticosteroid injection for persistent inflammation
• Surgical bursa excision for chronic, resistant cases
