Is Bursitis Associated With Knee Weakness ?

Thanks for your query.
There are two major bursae around the hip joint, the trochanteric bursa and the ischial bursa.
Inflammation of these can be associated with stiffness and pain around the hip joint not knee joints.
Bursitis can be infectious or non infectious.
But bursitis of hip generally do not cause weakness or movement problem in knee joints.
Problem during stair climbing suggests some other knee pathology.
At the age of 55 years degenerative or osteoarthritis of knee is seen in many patients, more so in females.
So orthopedic opinion can be beneficial in such cases.
