What Causes A Bubble Under The Knee Cap?

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.

Hello,

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!
