Knee bursa. Fluid-filled, saclike cavities are known as bursae. These are located where muscles and tendons move over bony joint areas. Their function is to reduce friction caused by muscles and tendons moving against skin and bones, as well as to facilitate movement. A knee bursa, also known as a subcutaneous prepatellar bursa, aids with movement when we walk, run, stretch, or even cross our legs.
1 Cool the area of the inflamed bursa to help reduce blood flow and fluid build up. 2  Compress the area if possible by adding light pressure to minimize swelling (make sure the wrap is snug, but not too tight as it could cause numbness, tingling or more pain).
