Hello,

I agree with your doctor that the symptoms can be related to bursitis.

I suggest to rest: Take it easy for a few days.

Put an ice pack on your knee about 3 to 4 times a day.

Take a mild, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen or Naproxen sodium.

Prop up the sore knee while you rest on the couch.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
