Knee Bursitis Treatment

What is Knee Bursitis?

Within and about the knee lay several small cushion like structures called bursas. These bursas allow different tissue types within the knee (such as bones, muscles & tendons) to move smoothly across each other which reduces friction and irritation from occurring in the knee.

When one of these bursas becomes inflamed due to injury they will fill with fluid causing pain and swelling in the knee. This condition is called knee bursitis.

There are four main areas of the knee where knee bursitis will occur and are classified by the region of the knee they affect, these are;

» Pes anserine Bursitis
» Prepatellar Bursitis
» Infrapatellar Bursitis
» Suprapatellar Bursitis

Knee Bursitis causes?

Knee bursitis is normally a result of trauma from an impact injury, overuse through work or sports or age related wear and tear. Another less recognized cause can be due to post operative irritation in the knee. There are also certain jobs where individuals may be more susceptible to developing bursitis in the knee as they require long periods where kneeling on hard surfaces is required. These jobs may include carpenters, plumbers, gardeners and cleaners. In fact prepatellar bursitis is also known as housemaid’s knee.

What are the symptoms of knee bursitis?

Knee bursitis symptoms and signs may include;

• A visible lump on the knee
• Mild to extreme knee pain
• Knee pain at nights while you sleep,
• Pain in the knee when walking or running,
• Localized swelling and tenderness
• Possible knee pain at rest.

Knee bursitis can occur in equally in either knee and may initially present as either right knee pain or left knee pain.

Available treatments for knee bursitis?

Knee bursitis may be simply treated with ice & rest in the first 24-48 hours of noticing knee pain or swelling. While this will hopefully minimize the degree of swelling which can then help expedite the recovery time, it is usually not enough to fully resolve knee bursitis pain and swelling.

Due to the minimal advancements in treating knee bursitis over the last decade your doctor will normally suggest one of the following treatments for knee bursitis assuming there is no infection present,

• Anti-inflammatory medication,
• Injection with cortisone steroid,
• Aspiration of excess fluid using a syringe (which can be extremely painful) or
• Even surgery may be suggested in extreme cases.
