Question about bursitis and lifting

[gettnlarge]

I have recently had a couple of bouts of prepatellar bursitis in one of my knees. It normally follows an injection into my quads. Could it be that I irritated something? Pain gone away, but fluid still stays. Doc gave me an anti-inflammatory for it. It works but Im afraid of pushing it on leg days. I only train my legs one time a week. The other question I have is about chest routines. I have had a genetically small chest even though I am an ex-wrestler. No probs with shoulders or back though. I'm trying to build it to gain some proportionality--should I train my chest more than 2 times a week to get optimal growth or cut back to one day and isolate it into one big chest day? If anyone has comments or advice, they would be greatly appreciated.

bursitis is inflammation of the bursa sacs...which i highly doubt has anything to do with an injection. i think you might just notice it more on those days because you're looking for it...or you could be walking funny because of the injection which is inflamming your bursa sacs.

maybe so...good thought. thanks for the input! I'm a newbie and have never had this happen before. I've been lifting for about 8+ years now and an ex-athlete. Maybe I need to quit being a wuss and walk right! LOL. Thanks man.
