Hello from PA, I am going through it right now. I had a work injury almost 8 months ago! I never had any problems with my knee prior to this. I never had any rest for my knee injury and I am a Nurse working with skilled dementia residents and continually walking around or standing up working All day long. I had 3 months of PT, a steroid injection and a Visco injection. Nothing Helped at All except for resting and icing after work and on my days off. My leg actually looked m 13:23 deformed after so many months of walking around on it because it wasn’t able to heal. SO… I ended up getting Arthroscopy debridement of hypertrophic fat pad and chondroplasty of petallar medial femoral condyle… 😢 Started Traditional PT 2 days after Surgery and bye the second week My Entire knee was swollen and couldn’t bend it. Stopped PT and my surgeon started me on a Steroid tapper pack. I just finished that. Still using crutches almost 5 weeks post surgery. Started using your tail gate swing during my steroid meds and massage my quads and around my entire knee area. Now I’m working on my glutes 😊Not my quads because I feel that I was using them in PT and that’s what triggered my knee to basically almost freeze up. I am currently using your videos for a better way for myself to help heal my knee 🙏🏽 Any Advice since I Already had Surgery? I feel that your information has helped make a difference already and I did share it with my Doctor. Thank you for helping Me and others find some relief. Linda
Hey Linda, You have mostly been through it! It's so heartbreaking to hear all the pain and swelling you've had to struggle through and that you've hadn't had much relief even after the steroid and visco injections. We are so happy to hear that you've used some of the techniques that we have put out and that they have been helping. Especially since we know that there are people who need you. Thank you for the work that you do as well🧡 We also love to see that you have been in communication with your doctor as well regarding these exercises. At this time you are on the right track with strengthening up the glute area. That should be a focus for now and once you address that area you will be able to evaluate what your next steps should be. We do have some additional exercises and information that can help you if you are interested in checking it out: “Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain” ruclips.net/video/NXdCjT2QtJA/видео.html “Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises To Help Knee Pain” ruclips.net/video/jD7IRBfJ-mM/видео.html Knee Pain Exercises, Stretches, Advice, & Tips Playlist ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1mY02hvFckRQO55HfAqDtWrM We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress and we hope you start feeling better soon!

Hi,I'm having the same problem...its been a month now and it hurts to lay down,I wanted to know how you're doing and if you've healed and what it took?
This is so helpful! I broke my hip resulting in a total hip replacement. Knee started going bad - "your glutes aren't firing" was the P.A.'s generic answer, leaving me to research multiple problems on my own. I'm in P.T. but the gal I see (while awesome) is very new. I don't have a choice, but if I weren't an 11-hour drive I'd want to see Dr. David in person! Thank you @ El Paso P.T.!!!
I had to do the same. When I went back to my orthopedic doctor, he was surprised with what I did. He gave me exercises that cause me more pain. I was starting to think 🤔 that the saying, healed patients brings no income in. Hip impingement and a tear in my hip. Injection for hip tear stopped that pain. Now suffering from hip impingement and I’m doing mobility exercises after about a month of set back.
Hi, im so grateful that you put all this good information online. I have been literally struggling for years after breaking my femur and having knee issues because of it. I mean to the point where i would be on the verge of homelessness because of not being able to work, because of difficlty standing and walking. And being denied any help and not having ayone but myself. Thank you
This was super helpful. I've had bursitis since January after falling onto my knee. It got better in March, but I recently traveled and it flared up again badly. It's in the process of healing again and hopefully these exercises will get rid of it for good.
I'm really confused. How do you tighten your glute muscles without your thigh muscles tightening? I can't right now. They just automatically tighten l. I can't control it.
Great video Dr. - loved the exercises. Question. Do you think ice should be in your top 3 TTD to relieve the pain prior to exercise? We appreciate your videos..
Thank you so much for your video. You explain everything so well. Does getting your legs up above your heart level help with the swelling of bursitis? Thanks!
I love this detailed explanation. Far better than my doctors. I used to volunteer for stray animals. During the feed, I think I overused my knee, which initiated my problem. Soon, I was hit by covid, and not too long after symptoms receded, my PT made me do lunges and step ups. All those used to hurt and pull my knee. So, every time, after that, when I've tried to go from a low seated position to standing, it pulls and hurt. Same goes during kneeling. My doctor thinks it's a suprapatellar bursitis. But not much advise apart from basic exercises and medicine. 1. Can I walk? 2. Can I go cycling? 3. How long should these exercises be done? PT even gave me exercise to go into a bridge and straight one leg at a time; other required bending on one knee, taking other leg forward at bend, then stretching. It causes more pressure on the knee..
I can’t walk without a limp and my stairs are evil. I will work on all of these, the problem is I have 2 dogs and live in the city. They will get a lot of yard time this week
Want to tell you something that I came up with. What I do is what I call knee traction. I came up with this because 20 years ago I had traction on my back, where they stretched me. So I decided to get some 5 pound ankle weights, I put them on and I do the tailgate exercise, but I do not swing my legs very much at all . Because what I’m doing is stretching my bone on bone knee so I can get a little opening there eventually to take in hydration and nutrients. And I will tell you having my first knee x-ray in 2008 showing me bone on bone horrifying 😮 fast forward to 2018 is when I started doing it. And in October 2019 when I had my last x-ray. It actually showed a small gap between knee bones! Now I don’t know how long it took to get that little gap but I’ll take it and I like the fact that you can do these tailgate exercises even without weights several times a day to get the synovial fluid moving around nobody ever told me that. I also use a vibration plate which shakes me up pretty good to get the blood flowing. But the knee traction really does help my knee pain tremendously for a little while. I’m gonna try your roll towel behind the knee moves. I can’t really bend my knees that much I’m pretty sure I have a lot of scar tissue buildup.. I will eventually be able to move it more doing that exercise I saw on another video.
Hey Presouz, Thank you for sharing your experience with us.🧡 It's encouraging to hear that you were proactive in taking your health into account and that you came up with an exercise that was able to provide healing for your knees! 🙌 When you saw your x-ray and discovered the gap you must have been so excited! You had the self awareness to feel what was good for your body and you put in the work. We're happy to hear that you are going to give are techniques and try and we are sure they will provide you with relief. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress! Please take care!🧡
A very big thaaaaanks to you, like always helped my Pes anserine bursitis in left knee, my husband shoulder stiffness and now my right knee Pre-patellar bursitis, after watching and understanding my pain now I will start what you suggested. You are doing very noble work. May Supreme soul bless you. 🌸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I notice my patella might be painful above or below it. My vmo would feel tender so ill roller it. Then any pain in the patella disappears. Must be a mild tracking problem

Hi! This is very interesting. I also watched the "how to walk" video just now. I bumped my bent knee against the bathroom sink 7 weeks ago. It hurt like hell, but apart from that nothing happend. No visible bruise, swelling, discoloration whatsoever. I also could move and bend my knee 100%. But a few days later I noticed the pain is getting worse and I also could barely walk for more than 20 minutes without pain. Now, a quick x-ray confimred that nothing is broken which would have been hilarious considering that I only hit my knee against the sink anyways. No acceleration, no body weight invovled. I'm a very sporty, skinny woman and usually I'm dancing 4 times a week and go hiking on the weekend. I generally love walking. Never had any knee issues thus far. The doctors said it might be a bone bruise, but a light one so in a few weeks things should be back to normal. In week 4 I slowly tried to go for walks carefully. I went every second day and as I felt no pain (also not afterwards) I increased the walking time from 20 minutes to finally 1h. I could walk for 1 hour, feeling the knee, but without real pain. The next day the initial pain from day 0 was back and has been ever since. I'm in week 7 now and it just seems endless. I never expected that bumping your knee into something could cause such a long healing process. It's also the longest time in my life I've been away from exercising. Stairs are still challenging, but I watched your video on that and will try that (as I live in the 4th floor with no elevator) and my good knee starts hurting now as I put all the weight on that one .... not good I know.... I will have a MRI scan next week and hopefully finally figure out what is going on with my knee. I'm kind of hesitant to try walking again as I'm too worried it will throw me back in the healing process once again ..... this is so frustrating. I wonder when I'll be able to go back to sports again when walking is still an issue. :( ....... Any advice would be highly appreciated. I'll keep using all the advice in your videos and I keep doing knee exercises at home that seem to be beneficial and don't worsen the situation but I guess that's as much as I can do for now .....
Hello Zoom, It seems like one bad hit to the knee really got started a cascade of events. Let us send you the videos to strengthening your glutes this is going to be very important. You may be overusing your quad muscles to guard your knee due to pain. We are also going to send you a medial knee pain video.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you very much! Meanwhile I got the MRI scan results, though I'm quite sure that the majority of what they found has nothing to do with me bumping my knee against the sink, but was already there and might have just worsened now. I really don't want to have surgery, but thus far that hasn't been suggested anyways. What they found is: patella alta, patella lateralisation, chondromalacia (grade 2-3), small effusion (that was probably caused by the injury). patellar dysplasia. My orthopedist was quite chilled and said I get inlays for the shoes to correct the patellar dysplasia a bit ..... but I think proper exercise that can help balance out the dysplasia is also necessary. And I assume the cartilage damage is coming mainly from the dysplasia, but I don't know ....... I'm still in slight pain, but that might be caused by the effusion. I really hope I can go back to walking and dancing soon ..... *sigh* Hiking might be off limits for a while, I don't know...
I did lunges for a week without warm ups or any other lighter exercises prior. I thought my muscles were getting bigger but really it was just swelling above and below my kneecap. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Dr David, you are a star. Thank you for the knee exercises, I love it and very special, the bud exercise as they will be very good for the bladder prolapse. Thank you for the videos, sò helpful. You make my day every day. Thank you so much.
Your video popped in my feed but probably because I was researching bursitis as I got it on my left knee, impressive size of golf ball... Mine was not painful but swell was very uncomfortable, I stopped using trousers for a while as knee was not able to fit in it! The condition is healing fast and there is jyst a bit liquid still left in the knee. I am glad for your video to come up as I want to make sure my housemaid knee is fully recovered without any returns.
I got patella bursitis and the weird thing is when it happened i was playing basketball and when i jumped i felt it happen. It only bothered me for a few days and now i have no pain but still have the large lump below my kneecap.
Hi Earnhardtfan, Thanks for sharing your experience. It's interesting that the lump is still there even though you're not feeling any pain. There are a few reasons why this might be happening: 1. Residual Swelling: Sometimes, the bursa can stay swollen even after the pain subsides. The fluid buildup might take a bit longer to go away, which can leave you with that noticeable lump. 2. Scar Tissue: After the initial injury, some scar tissue can form in the area, which might be contributing to the bump you’re seeing. 3. Chronic Bursitis: In some cases, bursitis can become chronic, meaning the inflammation can persist without causing much pain but still result in a lump. 4. Fluid Retention: Your body might be holding onto some of the fluid from the initial inflammation, which could also be the cause of the lump. It’s great that you’re not in pain anymore, but if the lump continues to bother you or doesn’t go away, it might be a good idea to check in with a healthcare professional to make sure everything’s healing as it should. We hope you found this information helpful. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thankyou for all your guidance. Badminton after not much activity flared my knee. In physical therapy I learned I had no glutes...been building them. Has x-ray. Very little arthritis. My question...my knee can pop out a bit. Surgeon says it's just a groove that can happen. It clicks often when going down an incline, on the right side of the knee. I do have arthritis in my feet. I have high arches. I wear minimal shoe support, after reading , Born to Run. Any thoughts you can offer or someone you can refer me to in NH..near concord NH. Thanks! Jill
What should you do if you have bursitis but also front of the lower leg is sore, like the shins. ? What are shin splints?? And doyou get these from tight quads and weak glutes ? Everytime I get relaxed with my glutes I get a set back with knee bursitis so frustrating so back to the basics like leg swing. Thanks for all your help.
Mine is on the outside of my knee . It came from kneeling while gardening. I have not been able to kneel for 6 months. I will try these exercises. These are different than my PT has recommended
I suddenly started kickbiking a lot and my back and lower knee bursa start to swell from this. No inflammations, only swell that where the pressure get uncomfortable when folding the nees. I realized vmthat I use the quads too much when kickbiking, so I have to reprogram the motion executed when kicking to access the glutes more efficiently. It's nice to see that my conclusion converge with this information. What I wonder is if I can stretch out the quads (,,once the swelling allows me to fold the knees) to inditectly ncrease the range of motion for the glute to pull the leg. I imagine that this could increase the likelihood to prefer more glute activation. Doing more upper body forward Tilt is working well to activate the gliöutes ,but on long runs it's not realistic to have a "bent over" posture , so I think that a lbetter range of motion would be a good solution.
Kindly don't make your horrible faces on thumbnais. Health and sickness is not a joke. It's pain and such kind of hilarious funny faces looking at someone's painful joint or bones hurts a lot. 😢
My left knee bursitis was there couple of years. The pain and inflamation is gone now, but some swelling is still there. The problem is now I am getting pain on the left glutes . Is there a relationship doctors are not seeing?
mine comes and gos with the weather ..swelling on the inside of the knee along with pain when walking and sitting flat and in a chair or driving for any length of time...keeps me up some times,,i use a pillow between the legs that helps..but i still have to stand and walk at work...pains hard to live with some times...
Hello I wanted to chime in and thank you,,, im 57 female with old knee injuries that generally are not a problem. But one day I woke up and my knee cap looked like a cupcake, I assessed it to having knelt on it while welding in my shop , but that's about it. I combed the Internet and you tube, but nothing quite described what I was going through. Then I found You! And every single word applied to me!!! Right down to realize my butt cheeks hurt when trying your suggested exercise. You Sir are a Gift From God! And I want to Thank God out loud for this! May God Bless You In His Most Specialist Of Ways!!! Thank you for all you give us out here who do not trust the surgical / pharmaceutical medical field . Also who have a very limited income ,,, You Sir are Truly a Blessing ❤❤❤❤

After a week of rest before Christmas I thought...oops, that's definitely not a good idea. I started daily fascia stretching and did wraps with DMSO and then with DMSO + Swedish bitters. and started strength training again. I've been working again for two weeks. Today I'm finally able to go through the day pain-free again. the worst thing I've experienced in 60 years. And I've already had a lot behind me... Now I'm in good spirits that I'll be able to march again soon.
I had acl and meniscus surgery 5 years ago, and after recovery my knee never gave me too many problems, i went back to almost all of my sports at strenuous levels without a hitch and then boom, knee swells up a month ago and i am flabbergasted! After watching this video i gently tried some of the exercises and i realized i barely ever used my glutes, relied almost entirely on my quads and hamsteings cause the focus had always been on them to give support to the tendons and cartilage. I'm gonna rest properly and then give my knees what they need this time. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Hey M! We are sorry to hear that the old ACL and meniscus injury resurfaced about a month ago. We are glad to hear that you're open to giving the exercises a try. Don't be discouraged a lot of people have knee issues, and their condition usually stems from a muscular imbalance and weakness of the glutes and feet.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you again!! I'm fairly certain it's bursitis. I'm an MD, but I'm no orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist! So I started the process to make sure. In the meantime, your advice surely helps and I'll be sure to check those videos out!
Thank you for this info. I developed a large bursa on my knee. No pain, no discomfort, and no limitations. Just a squishy lump. I am very active, hike and work out with weights. I don’t think I bumped my knee. I’m trying to ice and with also try the exercises you mention. I would like the lump to be gone. It’s been there for 2 weeks. An orthopedic surgeon said I would have to live with it and maybe it would go away, but may not. I hope your suggestions work!
@@paige1857 it randomly went away. It was there in the morning then a few hours later it was gone. Now it seems to come and go for some reason but definitely not as big as it was.
It’s so painful. It happened while I was walking downhill on a track. No fall or accident just gradually increasing pain until I couldn’t walk. I’ve been 5 days and that I’ve been limping.
Hi!! First thank you for teaching me how to walk correctly on one of your videos:) I am a care assistant for a wonderful woman with Alzheimer’s and she loves to walk. We are both in our 60's, me a bit further in, however she is like a triathlete! I am limping now with inner thigh and knee pain and have self diagnosed myself with bursitis of the pest answering. Do you recommend using KT Tape?
Thanks, you have a nice way of talking, and also you went into a lot of detail here. This was kind of a miniature phys. therapy session. I'm going to get obsessed with the glute and tailgate swinging exercises. I like how you put it that way. It might just take that level of dedication. Thanks for making the video.
Why does my knee hurt when I rub my piriformis muscle, or I rub my inner knee bursa, and it gives me pain into my hip? My knee and hip feel like an infected toothache.
I think I have this but I am a receptionist and have to get up with every patient about 120 a day and enter stuff in computer lots of up and down. What do you suggest for working 10 hours a day computer work and rooming patients only 30 min break.
Thank you for the information! It was super helpful. Do you have any recommendations for bursitis exercises when you can’t bend your knee? I’ve been dealing with infrapatellar bursitis for 5 weeks now and while I’ve had some moments where it seems to get better, it just keeps coming back even worse. I now can’t bend my leg at all without experiencing pain but I don’t want to completely let my muscles atrophy. Thanks again for all your wisdom!
Iv got it in my knee pretty bad right now. And although the swelling has gone down a little bit on my knee, the swelling is starting to spread down my shin and it’s very red. Is this normal??
Thank you so much Dr for this very useful information. I've been having a soft swelling on the left side below my right knee that comes on and off for a few months, causing much pain. Using ice pack helped but only for a short while. My orthopaedic doc and physiotherapist couldn't tell what's wrong. So they are telling me to do the very exercises that you have advised against doing. After watching your video on bursitis, I now know very likely I'm suffering from knee bursitis. I will follow your advice on proper home treatment and hope to find relief. In the meantime I shall look for a physiotherapist who knows how to help with knee bursitism My question is, can I go for short casual walks when my pain has reduced somewhat? Or when I need to go out to carry out necessary errands? Is wearing a knee guard recommended while going out for short periods? Or should I stop walking altogether till my pain is totally gone?
I thought this was a great video. I’ve had a knee problem but the tenderness in the mcl area has gone now I just get uncomfortable round the inside front edge off my knee. Could that be bursa related with the pes one? I caused my knee problem by over use I think cranking up my cycling intensity too fast. So I’ve been laying off that but walking the dog still maybe a bit further too counter the lack of riding and I find that irritates it too. Is there any diagnosis test for any of the bursas I can look into

30 years old. I’ve always been really active. I got into slow pitch softball and I got knee bursitis. Was really close to getting steroid shot in my knee, or even mine drained. These exercises helped me immensely! Especially the tailgate leg swing. I love that he said not to use “icy hot” “bio freeze” into tricking your brain. Trust this man! Amazing and tons of thanks! I would highly suggest epsom salt baths to relax the muscles too.
Man I’m 29, have never really had knee issues. I went camping where the river water current is so fast you have to fight the current to walk through and there was rocks everywhere on ground so I’m sure my knees just over did it, I got it on my left knee and I can’t do shit. Hell my wife is even arguing with me with not doing enough work but I’m in so much pain it sits at a 3-8 level every day depending on what I do. Hope this video helps!
This is your second video I watched about this issue. I had visited an orthopedic doctor who said I have tendinitis below/inside of knee. Watched the first video realizing it was probably bursitis too. Started using active massage gun and now I will do these exercises. Keep up the good work! Thanks

I had planta fasciitis was anti-inflammatory for that then all of a sudden walking around my foot stopped hurting me and my knee started to hurt and got swollen. I have now been off my feet for four days stuck on a holiday.
Hi Lisa, We're sorry to hear about your struggles with plantar fasciitis and now knee pain and swelling, especially during your holiday! Plantar fasciitis can affect other areas like the knees due to changes in gait. Rest your knee to reduce swelling. Once the acute pain subsides, gentle knee exercises could help.

Hello from PA, I am going through it right now. I had a work injury almost 8 months ago! I never had any problems with my knee prior to this. I never had any rest for my knee injury and I am a Nurse working with skilled dementia residents and continually walking around or standing up working All day long. I had 3 months of PT, a steroid injection and a Visco injection. Nothing Helped at All except for resting and icing after work and on my days off. My leg actually looked m 13:23 deformed after so many months of walking around on it because it wasn’t able to heal. SO… I ended up getting Arthroscopy debridement of hypertrophic fat pad and chondroplasty of petallar medial femoral condyle… 😢 Started Traditional PT 2 days after Surgery and bye the second week My Entire knee was swollen and couldn’t bend it. Stopped PT and my surgeon started me on a Steroid tapper pack. I just finished that. Still using crutches almost 5 weeks post surgery. Started using your tail gate swing during my steroid meds and massage my quads and around my entire knee area. Now I’m working on my glutes 😊Not my quads because I feel that I was using them in PT and that’s what triggered my knee to basically almost freeze up. I am currently using your videos for a better way for myself to help heal my knee 🙏🏽 Any Advice since I Already had Surgery? I feel that your information has helped make a difference already and I did share it with my Doctor. Thank you for helping Me and others find some relief. Linda
Hey Linda, You have mostly been through it! It's so heartbreaking to hear all the pain and swelling you've had to struggle through and that you've hadn't had much relief even after the steroid and visco injections. We are so happy to hear that you've used some of the techniques that we have put out and that they have been helping. Especially since we know that there are people who need you. Thank you for the work that you do as well🧡 We also love to see that you have been in communication with your doctor as well regarding these exercises. At this time you are on the right track with strengthening up the glute area. That should be a focus for now and once you address that area you will be able to evaluate what your next steps should be. We do have some additional exercises and information that can help you if you are interested in checking it out:

Mine is tender in one area on the outside of my knee...It hurts to lay down...hard to rest
Hi,I'm having the same problem...its been a month now and it hurts to lay down,I wanted to know how you're doing and if you've healed and what it took?
@@JustProfitableOfficialI
Thankyou very interesting I'm just weak on my knees
Yes ! The pain is just on the inside of my knee cap
This is so helpful! I broke my hip resulting in a total hip replacement. Knee started going bad - "your glutes aren't firing" was the P.A.'s generic answer, leaving me to research multiple problems on my own. I'm in P.T. but the gal I see (while awesome) is very new. I don't have a choice, but if I weren't an 11-hour drive I'd want to see Dr. David in person! Thank you @ El Paso P.T.!!!
I had to do the same. When I went back to my orthopedic doctor, he was surprised with what I did. He gave me exercises that cause me more pain. I was starting to think 🤔 that the saying, healed patients brings no income in. Hip impingement and a tear in my hip. Injection for hip tear stopped that pain. Now suffering from hip impingement and I’m doing mobility exercises after about a month of set back.
Hi, im so grateful that you put all this good information online. I have been literally struggling for years after breaking my femur and having knee issues because of it. I mean to the point where i would be on the verge of homelessness because of not being able to work, because of difficlty standing and walking. And being denied any help and not having ayone but myself. Thank you
This was super helpful. I've had bursitis since January after falling onto my knee. It got better in March, but I recently traveled and it flared up again badly. It's in the process of healing again and hopefully these exercises will get rid of it for good.
Update?
Update?
I'm really confused. How do you tighten your glute muscles without your thigh muscles tightening? I can't right now. They just automatically tighten l. I can't control it.
Great video Dr. - loved the exercises. Question. Do you think ice should be in your top 3 TTD to relieve the pain prior to exercise? We appreciate your videos..
Thank you so much for your video. You explain everything so well. Does getting your legs up above your heart level help with the swelling of bursitis? Thanks!
The rest part is a luxury! Those of us with 20 different life responsibilities to do daily with very little help can’t rest.
Am in the same situation 😢.
I think he meant limit intense stuff like running etc
I love this detailed explanation. Far better than my doctors. I used to volunteer for stray animals. During the feed, I think I overused my knee, which initiated my problem. Soon, I was hit by covid, and not too long after symptoms receded, my PT made me do lunges and step ups. All those used to hurt and pull my knee. So, every time, after that, when I've tried to go from a low seated position to standing, it pulls and hurt. Same goes during kneeling. My doctor thinks it's a suprapatellar bursitis. But not much advise apart from basic exercises and medicine.
1. Can I walk?
2. Can I go cycling?
3. How long should these exercises be done?
PT even gave me exercise to go into a bridge and straight one leg at a time; other required bending on one knee, taking other leg forward at bend, then stretching. It causes more pressure on the knee..
Stop the covid lunacy.
I can’t walk without a limp and my stairs are evil. I will work on all of these, the problem is I have 2 dogs and live in the city. They will get a lot of yard time this week
Want to tell you something that I came up with. What I do is what I call knee traction. I came up with this because 20 years ago I had traction on my back, where they stretched me. So I decided to get some 5 pound ankle weights, I put them on and I do the tailgate exercise, but I do not swing my legs very much at all . Because what I’m doing is stretching my bone on bone knee so I can get a little opening there eventually to take in hydration and nutrients. And I will tell you having my first knee x-ray in 2008 showing me bone on bone horrifying 😮 fast forward to 2018 is when I started doing it. And in October 2019 when I had my last x-ray. It actually showed a small gap between knee bones! Now I don’t know how long it took to get that little gap but I’ll take it and I like the fact that you can do these tailgate exercises even without weights several times a day to get the synovial fluid moving around nobody ever told me that. I also use a vibration plate which shakes me up pretty good to get the blood flowing. But the knee traction really does help my knee pain tremendously for a little while. I’m gonna try your roll towel behind the knee moves. I can’t really bend my knees that much I’m pretty sure I have a lot of scar tissue buildup.. I will eventually be able to move it more doing that exercise I saw on another video.
Hey Presouz, Thank you for sharing your experience with us.🧡 It's encouraging to hear that you were proactive in taking your health into account and that you came up with an exercise that was able to provide healing for your knees! 🙌 When you saw your x-ray and discovered the gap you must have been so excited! You had the self awareness to feel what was good for your body and you put in the work. We're happy to hear that you are going to give are techniques and try and we are sure they will provide you with relief. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress! Please take care!🧡
Sucks when you have this and you can’t afford to miss a day of work.
Got it at the moment can’t believe how quick it floored me and it’s so painful for the first 3days 😩
A very big thaaaaanks to you, like always helped my Pes anserine bursitis in left knee, my husband shoulder stiffness and now my right knee Pre-patellar bursitis, after watching and understanding my pain now I will start what you suggested.
You are doing very noble work. May Supreme soul bless you. 🌸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I notice my patella might be painful above or below it. My vmo would feel tender so ill roller it. Then any pain in the patella disappears. Must be a mild tracking problem
Pes anserine pain, when I do tailgate swing there is a small pop every time. Not painful, not audible, but I feel a small pop. Is this ok?

Hi! This is very interesting. I also watched the "how to walk" video just now. I bumped my bent knee against the bathroom sink 7 weeks ago. It hurt like hell, but apart from that nothing happend. No visible bruise, swelling, discoloration whatsoever. I also could move and bend my knee 100%. But a few days later I noticed the pain is getting worse and I also could barely walk for more than 20 minutes without pain. Now, a quick x-ray confimred that nothing is broken which would have been hilarious considering that I only hit my knee against the sink anyways. No acceleration, no body weight invovled. I'm a very sporty, skinny woman and usually I'm dancing 4 times a week and go hiking on the weekend. I generally love walking. Never had any knee issues thus far. The doctors said it might be a bone bruise, but a light one so in a few weeks things should be back to normal. In week 4 I slowly tried to go for walks carefully. I went every second day and as I felt no pain (also not afterwards) I increased the walking time from 20 minutes to finally 1h. I could walk for 1 hour, feeling the knee, but without real pain. The next day the initial pain from day 0 was back and has been ever since. I'm in week 7 now and it just seems endless. I never expected that bumping your knee into something could cause such a long healing process. It's also the longest time in my life I've been away from exercising. Stairs are still challenging, but I watched your video on that and will try that (as I live in the 4th floor with no elevator) and my good knee starts hurting now as I put all the weight on that one .... not good I know.... I will have a MRI scan next week and hopefully finally figure out what is going on with my knee. I'm kind of hesitant to try walking again as I'm too worried it will throw me back in the healing process once again ..... this is so frustrating. I wonder when I'll be able to go back to sports again when walking is still an issue. :( ....... Any advice would be highly appreciated. I'll keep using all the advice in your videos and I keep doing knee exercises at home that seem to be beneficial and don't worsen the situation but I guess that's as much as I can do for now .....
Hello Zoom,
It seems like one bad hit to the knee really got started a cascade of events. Let us send you the videos to strengthening your glutes this is going to be very important. You may be overusing your quad muscles to guard your knee due to pain.
We are also going to send you a medial knee pain video. There are to activities on this video that you can try to see if it helps.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you very much! Meanwhile I got the MRI scan results, though I'm quite sure that the majority of what they found has nothing to do with me bumping my knee against the sink, but was already there and might have just worsened now. I really don't want to have surgery, but thus far that hasn't been suggested anyways. What they found is: patella alta, patella lateralisation, chondromalacia (grade 2-3), small effusion (that was probably caused by the injury). patellar dysplasia. My orthopedist was quite chilled and said I get inlays for the shoes to correct the patellar dysplasia a bit ..... but I think proper exercise that can help balance out the dysplasia is also necessary. And I assume the cartilage damage is coming mainly from the dysplasia, but I don't know ....... I'm still in slight pain, but that might be caused by the effusion. I really hope I can go back to walking and dancing soon ..... *sigh* Hiking might be off limits for a while, I don't know...
I did lunges for a week without warm ups or any other lighter exercises prior. I thought my muscles were getting bigger but really it was just swelling above and below my kneecap. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Dr David, you are a star. Thank you for the knee exercises, I love it and very special, the bud exercise as they will be very good for the bladder prolapse. Thank you for the videos, sò helpful. You make my day every day. Thank you so much.

Well I’ve had some problems with my knee for like 12 years and it’s not arthritis bc it’ll go away for like 2 years and then come back agaun
Your video popped in my feed but probably because I was researching bursitis as I got it on my left knee, impressive size of golf ball... Mine was not painful but swell was very uncomfortable, I stopped using trousers for a while as knee was not able to fit in it!
The condition is healing fast and there is jyst a bit liquid still left in the knee.
I am glad for your video to come up as I want to make sure my housemaid knee is fully recovered without any returns.
How do I know what my inside knee pain is from and how to best treat it naturally?
So different from what others are saying but makes total sense. The glute activation is hard for me so kinda says whats going on. So thanks.
I got patella bursitis and the weird thing is when it happened i was playing basketball and when i jumped i felt it happen. It only bothered me for a few days and now i have no pain but still have the large lump below my kneecap.
Hi Earnhardtfan,
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's interesting that the lump is still there even though you're not feeling any pain. There are a few reasons why this might be happening:
1. Residual Swelling: Sometimes, the bursa can stay swollen even after the pain subsides. The fluid buildup might take a bit longer to go away, which can leave you with that noticeable lump.
2. Scar Tissue: After the initial injury, some scar tissue can form in the area, which might be contributing to the bump you’re seeing.
3. Chronic Bursitis: In some cases, bursitis can become chronic, meaning the inflammation can persist without causing much pain but still result in a lump.
4. Fluid Retention: Your body might be holding onto some of the fluid from the initial inflammation, which could also be the cause of the lump.
It’s great that you’re not in pain anymore, but if the lump continues to bother you or doesn’t go away, it might be a good idea to check in with a healthcare professional to make sure everything’s healing as it should.
We hope you found this information helpful. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapyTQ for your service❤❤❤
I had the same thing happen to me playing ball lol, how is it now ?
Great video!! I learned so much. Do you recommend swimming as a good exercise for bursitis?
Thankyou for all your guidance. Badminton after not much activity flared my knee. In physical therapy I learned I had no glutes...been building them. Has x-ray. Very little arthritis. My question...my knee can pop out a bit. Surgeon says it's just a groove that can happen. It clicks often when going down an incline, on the right side of the knee. I do have arthritis in my feet. I have high arches. I wear minimal shoe support, after reading , Born to Run. Any thoughts you can offer or someone you can refer me to in NH..near concord NH. Thanks! Jill
What should you do if you have bursitis but also front of the lower leg is sore, like the shins. ? What are shin splints?? And doyou get these from tight quads and weak glutes ? Everytime I get relaxed with my glutes I get a set back with knee bursitis so frustrating so back to the basics like leg swing. Thanks for all your help.
Mine is on the outside of my knee . It came from kneeling while gardening. I have not been able to kneel for 6 months. I will try these exercises. These are different than my PT has recommended
I suddenly started kickbiking a lot and my back and lower knee bursa start to swell from this. No inflammations, only swell that where the pressure get uncomfortable when folding the nees. I realized vmthat I use the quads too much when kickbiking, so I have to reprogram the motion executed when kicking to access the glutes more efficiently.
It's nice to see that my conclusion converge with this information.
What I wonder is if I can stretch out the quads (,,once the swelling allows me to fold the knees) to inditectly ncrease the range of motion for the glute to pull the leg. I imagine that this could increase the likelihood to prefer more glute activation.
Doing more upper body forward Tilt is working well to activate the gliöutes ,but on long runs it's not realistic to have a "bent over" posture , so I think that a lbetter range of motion would be a good solution.
Kindly don't make your horrible faces on thumbnais. Health and sickness is not a joke. It's pain and such kind of hilarious funny faces looking at someone's painful joint or bones hurts a lot. 😢
My left knee bursitis was there couple of years. The pain and inflamation is gone now, but some swelling is still there. The problem is now I am getting pain on the left glutes . Is there a relationship doctors are not seeing?
mine comes and gos with the weather ..swelling on the inside of the knee along with pain when walking and sitting flat and in a chair or driving for any length of time...keeps me up some times,,i use a pillow between the legs that helps..but i still have to stand and walk at work...pains hard to live with some times...
Hello I wanted to chime in and thank you,,, im 57 female with old knee injuries that generally are not a problem. But one day I woke up and my knee cap looked like a cupcake, I assessed it to having knelt on it while welding in my shop , but that's about it. I combed the Internet and you tube, but nothing quite described what I was going through. Then I found You! And every single word applied to me!!! Right down to realize my butt cheeks hurt when trying your suggested exercise. You Sir are a Gift From God! And I want to Thank God out loud for this! May God Bless You In His Most Specialist Of Ways!!! Thank you for all you give us out here who do not trust the surgical / pharmaceutical medical field . Also who have a very limited income ,,, You Sir are Truly a Blessing ❤❤❤❤

Do you suggest swimming for knee bursitis
Anyone have pain even down the leg or even up the thigh with this? I even had some swelling😢
Yes! 😢
I love that tailgate swing❤ Thanks!!
After a week of rest before Christmas I thought...oops, that's definitely not a good idea. I started daily fascia stretching and did wraps with DMSO and then with DMSO + Swedish bitters. and started strength training again. I've been working again for two weeks. Today I'm finally able to go through the day pain-free again. the worst thing I've experienced in 60 years. And I've already had a lot behind me... Now I'm in good spirits that I'll be able to march again soon.
We are so glad you are able to go through the day pain-free again Paula! Knee bursitis is a tough injury to deal with for sure!

I had acl and meniscus surgery 5 years ago, and after recovery my knee never gave me too many problems, i went back to almost all of my sports at strenuous levels without a hitch and then boom, knee swells up a month ago and i am flabbergasted! After watching this video i gently tried some of the exercises and i realized i barely ever used my glutes, relied almost entirely on my quads and hamsteings cause the focus had always been on them to give support to the tendons and cartilage. I'm gonna rest properly and then give my knees what they need this time. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Hey M! We are sorry to hear that the old ACL and meniscus injury resurfaced about a month ago. We are glad to hear that you're open to giving the exercises a try.

Thank you for this info. I developed a large bursa on my knee. No pain, no discomfort, and no limitations. Just a squishy lump. I am very active, hike and work out with weights. I don’t think I bumped my knee. I’m trying to ice and with also try the exercises you mention. I would like the lump to be gone. It’s been there for 2 weeks. An orthopedic surgeon said I would have to live with it and maybe it would go away, but may not. I hope your suggestions work!

@@paige1857 it randomly went away. It was there in the morning then a few hours later it was gone. Now it seems to come and go for some reason but definitely not as big as it was.

I am a care assistant for a wonderful woman with Alzheimer’s and she loves to walk. We are both in our 60's, me a bit further in, however she is like a triathlete!

Thanks, you have a nice way of talking, and also you went into a lot of detail here. This was kind of a miniature phys. therapy session.
I'm going to get obsessed with the glute and tailgate swinging exercises. I like how you put it that way. It might just take that level of dedication. Thanks for making the video.
Why does my knee hurt when I rub my piriformis muscle, or I rub my inner knee bursa, and it gives me pain into my hip? My knee and hip feel like an infected toothache.

Hey Jyothi, you are so welcome! We appreciate your kind words. 🙌
Thankyou Doctor… these exercises were really helpful
Thank you so much Dr for this very useful information. I've been having a soft swelling on the left side below my right knee that comes on and off for a few months, causing much pain. Using ice pack helped but only for a short while. My orthopaedic doc and physiotherapist couldn't tell what's wrong. So they are telling me to do the very exercises that you have advised against doing. After watching your video on bursitis, I now know very likely I'm suffering from knee bursitis. I will follow your advice on proper home treatment and hope to find relief. In the meantime I shall look for a physiotherapist who knows how to help with knee bursitism
My question is, can I go for short casual walks when my pain has reduced somewhat? Or when I need to go out to carry out necessary errands?
Is wearing a knee guard recommended while going out for short periods? Or should I stop walking altogether till my pain is totally gone?
I thought this was a great video. I’ve had a knee problem but the tenderness in the mcl area has gone now I just get uncomfortable round the inside front edge off my knee. Could that be bursa related with the pes one? I caused my knee problem by over use I think cranking up my cycling intensity too fast. So I’ve been laying off that but walking the dog still maybe a bit further too counter the lack of riding and I find that irritates it too. Is there any diagnosis test for any of the bursas I can look into
Fantastic video - thank you for your expertise
I had a hard fall on my knee on croncrete 2 months ago & the swelling above the knee and it’s just getting worse
I don't often drink alcohol but in the last month on two occasions had a sherry, oh boy I think that I might get gout in my knees.
Is this condition somewhat like gout? And how I know if I need a knee replacement?
Mine knee has the size of a tennis ball on it but no pain or infection. Dr says leave it. In the meantime people are coming at me with tennis rackets.

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
Please keep us posted on your progress! 🧡
30 years old. I’ve always been really active. I got into slow pitch softball and I got knee bursitis. Was really close to getting steroid shot in my knee, or even mine drained.
These exercises helped me immensely! Especially the tailgate leg swing.
I love that he said not to use “icy hot” “bio freeze” into tricking your brain.
Trust this man! Amazing and tons of thanks!
I would highly suggest epsom salt baths to relax the muscles too.
Man I’m 29, have never really had knee issues. I went camping where the river water current is so fast you have to fight the current to walk through and there was rocks everywhere on ground so I’m sure my knees just over did it, I got it on my left knee and I can’t do shit. Hell my wife is even arguing with me with not doing enough work but I’m in so much pain it sits at a 3-8 level every day depending on what I do.
Hope this video helps!
This is your second video I watched about this issue. I had visited an orthopedic doctor who said I have tendinitis below/inside of knee. Watched the first video realizing it was probably bursitis too. Started using active massage gun and now I will do these exercises.
Keep up the good work! Thanks

Mine is right on the kneecap, it’s hard, not squishy. You think it will ever recede and not be swollen? Ortho surgeon said there’s nothing to drain, he suggested removing it, I just don’t want it to become infected. Will voltaren cream help?

We highly recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before attempting any exercises.

Have you heard joint pain that is a protein build up? Or is that not true? Do you know of a vitamin that helps reduce swelling.
Turmeric liquid. It tastes good. Costco has it
I literally got bursitis from walking, so I promise, I won't be doing that.
Elliptical or swimming
Dr David this is off topic but I have hip arthritis and I am bone on bone in each hip. I am limping terribly. My chiropractor said I need to fix my pelvic rotation first and then have hip replacements. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I have been seeing my chiro for 5mo and I haven’t had a progress. I know you can’t tell me what to do but what is your opinion
I have had 10 injections just underneath the skin around my knee and hip joint. Go see a homeopath. The stuff is not cortisone.
I had planta fasciitis was anti-inflammatory for that then all of a sudden walking around my foot stopped hurting me and my knee started to hurt and got swollen. I have now been off my feet for four days stuck on a holiday.
Hi Lisa,
We're sorry to hear about your struggles with plantar fasciitis and now knee pain and swelling, especially during your holiday!
Plantar fasciitis can affect other areas like the knees due to changes in gait. Rest your knee to reduce swelling. Once the acute pain subsides, gentle knee exercises could help.
We have a knee swelling help playlist you might find helpful.
