Prepatellar Bursitis

Hey guys,

I didn't have much luck with this in the general forum so I thought I'd try it out on my local folks...

Anyone have any experience with bursitis? I think I developed what's called pre-patellar bursitis (in front of the kneecap) rather quickly last weekend when I was leaning on my left knee on the concrete to deflate my son's blow up pool. I went to stand up and my knee was the size of a baseball! Talk about alarming - I almost freaked! The strange thing was, it didn't hurt. I went inside and iced it for about an hour and the swelling went down, but then this morning I totally forgot about it and leaned on it for about 3 seconds to check my son's temp, and it swelled back up again. It's definitely been sore this past week, but I was still able to walk/jog a little and ride the bike.

Any thoughts/comments/treatment options are welcome. So far I've only iced it. Not really sure what else to do for it. It's not going to stop me from my Aug 22nd tri, but it's definitely got me thinking I may have to walk more of the 5K than I'd like.

Thanks in advance you guys,
tb
