How long will i have house wifes knee (prepatellar bursitis) for once i start treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee Bursitis: Fluid over the knee can occur after working on your hands and knees. If the fluid is drained it usually will resolve. Sometimes it may take multiple aspirations. If it is drained use ice , do not use heat. If you are being treated solely with rest and anti-inflammatory meds it may take several weeks to resolve. The most important point is to try and avoid direct contact to the area.
