What To Do For Inflammation Around Knee Area?
Can a virus cause bursitis? I have fibromyalgia and had a recent stomach virus - my knee is inflammed all around retinaculum and bursae areas- there is trace edema in the fat pad area but no other signs of obvious inflammation. I have more stiffness than pain.

Hi you have fibromyalgia and now have inflammation around knee joint with bursitis. You also had recent stomach virus. With this clinical picture I am more inclined to investigate the cause of Knee inflammation as it is unkiely to be caused by stomach virus . I would recommend pain killers and hot fomentation for the knee at present.
