A member asked:
I have a bursa sac that filled during high school. it has led to no issues, other than being a huge sac to the left of my knee, and below it. is there a health concern given that it has always been filled for 14 years? should i get it drained?

If it is huge and bothers you definitely see a Orthopod who would give you the correct diagnosis and treatment. Good luck

Usually bursitis responds to compression and nsaids. If causing problems would be a good idea to get checked out. If it grows would seek evaluation
