Swollen knee for 6 weeks. went do dr. said bursitis hasnt gone away. should i go back in? am 34 female average weight good health just want it gone ib

Need consultation: The swelling has persisted and may indicate internal knee damage. I suggest you see an orthopedist. S/he may well recommend a knee MRl to see what the problem is. Fluid on the joint may or may not be due to internal damage requiring surgery.
