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.
