Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain due to bursitis is due to inflammation. After a steroid shot the pain decreases in 7-10 days and adequate rest, support to the knee usually decreases the inflammation in 2 weeks depending on the severity of the situation. It is best to start with gradual physiotherapy once the acute inflammation subsides.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
