A member asked:
Could i have bursitis if tip of tibia bone is enlarged and knee is somewhat swollen, pain is mostly in leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As a general rule any swelling of the knee or any joint space would have "bursitis" as a possible cause. The true nature would require an evaluation, possibly including examining the fluid inside the joint for germs or other cellular material.
