Which muscle groups/joints are commonly affected by Knee Bursitis?
Knee bursitis affects one or more of the eleven bursae located within the knee joint. What type of results should I expect from the treatment of Knee Bursitis? If conservative treatments are followed and the area is given sufficient rest from activities that cause inflammation, most cases of knee bursitis will clear up within a few weeks to a few months. If activities are not limited during this time or activities are resumed too quickly or aggressively, symptoms can return. Bursitis is often a chronic condition that recurs periodically, requiring additional treatment. When surgery is performed to remove the bursa, it is almost always successful and activities can be resumed fairly quickly.
