Answers:
Numbness means that either the popliteal artery or the nerve that runs through the knee is being pinched off.. Bursitis doesn't pinch these things off.. What you really should do is go to a chiropractor, one who specializes in sports-related injuries, to see if you possibly have a subluxated fibula or tibia.. These sounds more plausible, and these things could cause bursitis to happen as well..Health Question & Answer
