It's so hard to explain knee bursitis to people who've never had it themselves. Everyone has bad advice, based on someone they know who had a meniscus tear or arthritis or some other injury, that is totally unrelated. Thank you for this video.

[@marcdavies5810]

U are spot on with this comment

[@rockyevans1584]

It's no more tough to diagnose than other knee injuries tho, and people can only speak on what they've heard of. Of course non professionals won't give you objective, research based advice, that would be silly to expect and it's nice that ppl want to help

[@Didot2]

Dealing with knee bursitis for a month now. Very painful. Afraid to move it too aggressively. Thanks.

[@suzannestukenberg463]

After an ortho doc. diagnosed me with Pes Anserine Bursitis, I wasn't able to get in to PT for two weeks. I was in a lot of pain and it was very frustrating having to wait for some relief. I have arthritis and chronic pain from CRPS. At first I couldn't do the exercises because of the pain. Even anti-inflammatory meds. (ibuprofen, advil, and eventally I tried Meloxicam) weren't helping. The only things that helped me were ice and pain patches. I started doing your exercises, after icing really well first, and eventually they started to help. I think it's important to emphasize getting the pain calmed down before starting the stretches.Thank you so much!!

[@abridge4831]

Bob and Brad, thank you that you both are doing a terrific job. I wrote this lot to encourage others because I feel so much better doing these exercises. I have knee bursitis and didn't want to go for physio because of the pandemic so I started doing these exercises twice a day at home (I picked about eight). The exercises start at about 6:25 into the video. The key is to go slowly and not push yourself in the beginning. Two exercises that are really painful to do is with Bob doing the quad stretch (at 8:15), and the one following on his tummy with pulling up the belt. I started slowly with only five times and was able to bend my knee more and do 10 the following day. It got more tolerable each day. Now I am on my third day and already feeling so much improvement. I can already go up and down the stairs. I still have some cracking that's painful with certain movements but I am hoping that will dissipate soon. I wish the exercises were numbered as you go along but I followed it and wrote down the instructions to make it easier. Thanks again guys!

I’ve given birth to 5 children but this pain bought me to tears. I’m so grateful for this information

[@melaniebrunell8720]

These exercises have helped me immensely in treating my pes anserine bursitis. I had ankle surgery in August and wasn’t full weight bearing for 3 months, and once I started walking again I had a lot of pain in my knee. I found this video and started doing the stretches and exercises every day. And I have gone from feeling pain almost all day to almost being pain free-all in two weeks. The exercises don’t take long and are very effective (at least for me). The clam shell tuna Bob does sitting up (the last stretch) is the one I find the most effective, but they are all very good. Love these videos and am very thankful for Bob and Brad!

Thank you this is really helpful. I fell off a wall and had to have my knee glued, I’m a runner, I did rest for 5 weeks then started back running and now 5 months on I’ve been told I have bursitis; I’ve probably not helped it by running so now I need to rest it. This really helps, thank you 🙏

[@mollyaloysius9095]

Dr Bob and Brad, I just had a steroid injection into two of bursa on the knee (the goose foot one). How long do you think I should wait before I begin back my physio? I don't feel the relief that my doctor spoke about yet. He said within hours I could see it. But not so much yet - walking, getting up from a chair and standing still hurts. Should I just rest and ice it as much as I can and then restart my physio? Also my doctor recommended swimming and paddling on a stationary bike? What do you think? Hope to hear everyone's comments and advice. I have been having bursitis for about 11 months. Just got the shots yesterday. God bless. From: Molly, 25, Malaysia

Hi, i have been watching your videos on Pes Anserine Bursitis that’s what my Dr said I had and now that pain is gone but now the pain is very different as if I have a price of cartilage under my knee and it’s as if it moves around. It’s when I walk that I feel as if it moves around and the pain is sharp. Please let me know if there’s a remedy for this pain that is attributed to walking around. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your videos you guys are the best.

I had a knee replacement Nov 1, 2021. It is Feb 12, 2022 and I have quite a bit of swelling (with associated pain) above, below and on the lateral side of the knee cap. I am suspecting bursitis as I have very good flex and extension (130 and .5 degrees respectively) and no other symptoms.

And do you do the stretches and exercises even if the knee (pes anserine) hurts while doing them ?

[@SingingAesthetician]

If you rupture your bursa on your knee from falling on concrete, with a lot of swelling and bruising - with already having bad arthritis.. and months later there is pain, numbness and lumps right under the skin of the knee from the bursa, does it usually ever heal completely? Does it cause arthritis to get worse? Please help me with advice.. I have already seen a family doctor, neurologist and orthopedic surgeon and it really didn’t help.

Hello Bob and Brad, I'm suffering from medial meniscus tear and pes anserine bursitis. Your excercises helped me very much, i do, however , stil have pain in my knee as well as difficulty flexing it while hip is extended or internally rotated. What exercises do you suggest to do in order to improve it? Sincerely, Nadya

[@pcalk]

Fellas, why do you recommend a bent knee groin stretch? Gracilis crosses the knee, so shouldn't one do a straight knee groin stretch?

[@Refuge51]

You both look great and are very likeable and valuable too!

[@wdaou4214]

Stretches start at min 6:15

[@anabelladuca8468]

Could it be triggered by a spinal (attached) muscle or hip muscle OR opposite shoulder/neck tightness that may be pulling diagonally across via the spine muscle to the opposite hip? And if yes how can that be tested or how would one know the root cause so treatment can be properly designed?

[@scottk1525]

If I can easily do 30 reps of these exercises, are they really doing anything for me? Doesn't that imply the strength is already there?

I have PES bursitis from wrestling, i took 3 months off and after one day back and no impact, just kneeling, i feel it again. Will the strengthening the muscles help prevent re-injury?

[@mrs.m195]

Curious, could poor heel arch support or type of shoe cause the pes anserine bursitis? I have not had pain until getting a new pair of shoes and then walking /hiking 14 miles only to develop this pain. Also interesting enough, I also wearout my shoes soles on the outside edges always and I am a bit knee knocked is what I call it, twisted knees, when my feet are angled out especially the right knee my knees look straight, when right foot is turned straight forward, my right knee is turned in. I think this new shoe exacerbated this to where it eventually caused pain. I also notice I "lock" my knees alot when standing.I ice sometimes, wear a cloth knee "brace" and have started your exercises. Thank you for the video; I hope it helps so I can begin more rigorous activity again.

Nice video and all, but I've got a swollen knee with hurts if I fold it, I can't see myself doing these stretches without being in a considerable amount of pain. What do I do? :/

[@Virgoth.]

Ay what ended up happening?

[@errcoche]

Thanks for the info gents. I took a blow to the inside of my left knee a few months back doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's a form of wrestling with lots of use of the legs and clamping arms, legs and necks with knees is a big part of it. I have a floating lump in the area of the Pes Anserine bursa. Not entirely sure if the lump is the bursa per se or a new appendage cause by the trauma. I didn't take it very seriously but it hasn't cleared and keeps flaring up. It can be very tender but sometimes the lump is there with no pain. The jiu jitsu actually means my legs are very strong because we make all the movements you showed. I find I have to use massage balls to work all the hip and glute muscles or they become quite sore. I just started icing and it looks like I will need to take some time off. I couldn't go to jiu jitsu for a week and the lump was shrinking so a rest cure looks like what I have to do. I am thinking about cycling on the basis that is is light load and will stimulate blood flow around the knee. Just wondering if you have an opinion on that? Thanks again guys.

[@sunnyday7843]

I had a bursitis due to hitting my knee hard on something ... the doc told me riding a bike was great for it. It took time but I was over it. Now I slammed my knee into an open door again ; the skinny part of the door . Ouch feel like it’s back again . 2 year old video - but hey!
