Wondering how quickly people with Bursitis have healed? Really want to get back to my regimine however, I was told to ice, rest and use my anti-inflammatory's. Any helpful suggestions?

    I have heard different things. Some people say it comes back. I did get a cordizone (MSP) shot and it helped right away. I was told I could continue to exercise. I also go to PT. I hope this helps.

    do you have pes anserine bursitis (on the inside/lower part of your knee)? Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa sack. It will go away if you don't continuously irritate it. I would continue to ice, rest and take your meds, and also avoid deep squats, any painful knee extension exercises (ie. leg extension with lots of weight, lunges, step downs, etc) and maybe avoid aggressive hamstring strengthening. You can still do cardio, just keep it pain free (ie. walking, swimming, upper body ergometer, bike, etc). I am a physical therapist and I try to keep my patients as active as possible without irritating their injury. If you want more specific exercise planning, I would recommend seeing a PT, they can do a full body evaluation and get you set up on a program that will work best for you! Good luck!

    Anserine Bursea. I am icing it, elevating it, wrapping it, and resting it. I want to work out and do some running but I understand until the inflammation is gone that is a horrible idea. So depressed about it and it hurts so stinking bad I am considering going to the orthopedic dr if it does not feel better in the next few days. Thanks for your help. How long should I give it realistically until I see the ortho dr if it still hurts this bad?

    Yes, I have the pes anserine bursitis. Swelling and can not even touch it with my hand. Gave me celebrex and took me off the diclofenec that the podiatrist put me on for my plantar fasciitis. So frustrated at this point! Convinced my body hates me~ lmol
