Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I am 20 years old. I was a student at a sports school in primary school, so I have some old injuries. I have bursitis in my knee, and it hasn't improved in over ten years, so I guess it's time to consult a doctor. What should I do about knee bursitis?Doctor's answer:
The patients with patellar bursitis will experience recurrent pain in the affected knee joint, and their function will also be impaired again, with tenderness felt on the bone surface. In addition to local redness and swelling, the most severe consequence is collapse. It is crucial to take this condition very seriously, and it is necessary to consult a professional surgeon for diagnosis. Treatment options include local relief, systemic relief, medication, and physical therapy, with different approaches tailored to the severity of the condition. At the same time, attention should also be paid to daily life, such as drinking plenty of water, getting adequate rest, engaging in sufficient activity, and maintaining consistent deep sleep.
