Quick followup, knee is A-ok four days into the ski camp. Both knees (and plenty of other stuff) hurt after day one; I drove home holding a ziplock of ice on my knees. That was the last peep of protest from the knees, they have been fine since. Other stuff is generally holding up, actually I feel less tired and sore each day. The four Advil/day may be helping :-)

Darn, now it's my turn.

It looks like I've got a woman's tit on my right kneecap.

About two or three months ago I fell over and landed on my knee. It wasn't that sore so I ignored it. Still feels a bit sore but I put that down to being an old guy and things take time to heal. But a couple of days ago it's swollen up. Dr google told me it's Prepatellar bursitis and not to worry about it too much.

Jyl, how ong before yours went away?

I'd missed ^this^ update, but glad to hear that things cleared up and even the skiing didn't cause any major issues!

Jyl, how long before yours went away?

Congrats, folks will often spend $3-5k getting a set of tit's added. Since it's on your knee, you can fondle your knees while you're sitting around.

Bursitis isn't usually a big deal. Although being swollen sounds like a PITA.

Besides the usual oral NSAIDs, you can also (mentioned earlier in this thread) use topical stuff like Voltaren or Pennsaid. Our daughter is a PA for a top orthopedic surgeon in Houston, and has been a PA for orthopedic surgeons for ~13 years.

Thanks Steve. I'll stop squeezing it and ignore people staring at it.
