Bursitis of the Knee

Yes I finally got off my butt and went to the physio. My left knee is a bit swollen and has some fluid build up from a case of Bursitis (Wherever the bones, tendons and ligaments move against each other, particularly near joints, small fluid-filled sacs called bursae cushion the points of contact) As my knee cap isn't running properly along putting extra pressure comes swelling.

So both knees are strapped, my right knee isn't as bad as the left but has some swelling and is tender. I am to rest my knee for the next month, strapping every two days and treatment once a week with myself doing strength exercises everyday. So no aerobic or pump classes for me, just gentle walking, swimming and stretches. I can still do upper body weights which will be good to focus on. Sat last night with the peas on the knee.... gosh has been over 15yrs since I have had to do that. But I am glad I haven't done any major damage, just need to be careful from now on and no more running!!
