Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a friend who has a bubble under his knee cap from the time when he was playing soccer a lot. It doesn t hurt for him now, but I want to know if this can become worse by itself if he doesn t do much sports, or he is good as long as he doesn t strain his knees.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your friend see to be related to bursitis. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. A bursa is a small sac of fluid that cushions the knee and helps it move easily. In case of bursitis it is recommended physical therapy and moderate exercise. I tis not recommend to do to much sports.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
