Knee pain - bursitis maybe.

[Elfe5]

I’m on the IC with knee pain. ☹️ Having looked online, it seems that it might be Pes Anserine Bursitis ( yes I will see a medic if it’s not settling.) I am already doing knee strengthening exercises that don’t hurt & avoiding the ones which do. Any further tips??? Has anyone found a knee support helpful?? Many thanks.

Yes. Don’t do any exercises that weren’t recommended by a physio, and even those could be a hit and miss. Also, avoid that online business, knee is complex enough. Good luck.

Ok, fair enough thanks! My GP is a runner, I’ll go and see him as a starting point.

Sometimes a knee support does more harm than good so until you get a proper diagnosis then it's probably best not to use one. It bodes well that your GP is a runner so that should be your starting point.

Hope you're not too long out 😕
