How can i treat knee bursitis at home? i think is due to friction in the joint and can at times hurt on moving. have had 2 weeks now on and off.

Rest: Bursitis is usually on overuse condition. Rest, ice, and use of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory (advil, alleve, etc) usually helps. If there is true swelling, it is best to see an orthopaedist.
