What Treatment Is Suggested For Pre-patella Bursitis?
My 15 year old son was diagnosed with pre-patella bursitis. He had fluid drained from his knee. It has been 2 weeks, and he still has some fluid. He is an active person, I am wondering how long it will take for the fluid to be absorbed. He wants to play baseball but am concerned about aggravating it.

hello
the orthopedicians advise ice fomentation 15 minutes 4 times a day, and exercises like cycling.if pain give naprosyn tabs. Wear knee cap.it will absorb in few days, if doent then aspiration should be done for ruling out infection.If found not infected, then infilteration of cortisone is carried out.So consult an orthopedic surgeon.he may wait for few days before playing baseball
thanks
