Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciated.

So the flare stopped yesterday, i think it lasted 6 days. Unfortunately my left knee has been effected somehow from the flare and is now the size of a watermelon. I haven't had any arthritic knee pain before and this seems to be something else like Bursitis or perhaps Gout. There is a lot of pressure on the knee and above it with the bursa full of fluid. I can't bend my knee properly and I'm using crutches to get around the house. Booked in to see the rheumatologist tomorrow.

Has anyone suffered from bursitis straight after a flare up?

thanks everyone,
trying to stay positive.
