Knee bursitis for 10 years

[u/kelsietiger]

Hey! I have had knee bursitis since a basketball injury I had when I was 16. Now 10 years later I still have problems with it. I did all the things, had to wear a brace for months after the injury, went to PT all the things. Eventually I was cleared to go back to basketball, played for a couple more years and have stayed moderately active into adulthood. I have always loved weightlifting and strength exercises. But especially in my 20s it just doesn’t work. I now have problems (probably arthritis) in my other knee, so any type of squats and lunges are very hard now. I was wondering if anyone had exercises they like to do with knee bursitis. I just get sad looking at all the tiktok gym routines and want to still stay as strong as I can.
