If the swelling on your knee is localised right over — or just below — your kneecap, and you spend a lot of time kneeling at work or during exercise, you could be suffering from bursitis — one of the most common and frequently misdiagnosed causes of knee swelling.
Mr Bilal Barkatali, a specialist at The Knee Clinic Manchester, explains in his free guide what bursitis is, why it happens, and how to treat it — including when an infected bursa needs urgent medical attention.
The guide explains:
- "Housemaid's Knee" vs. "Clergyman's Knee" — what's the difference?
- Why bursitis feels soft and localised, unlike other types of swelling
- How to treat bursitis at home — and when that's not enough
- Signs your bursa may be infected (septic bursitis) — a condition needing urgent care
- Drainage, injection, and surgical options available at a private knee clinic
