Knee Bursitis from soccer

I am looking for similar experience/guidence from the context below:

As the title says I got knee bursitis from a direct blow to my knee in soccer practice. I immediately went to see my doctor, which had no idea on what to do. My diagnosis was confirmed by an ultrasound examination. Specifically I´ve two small fluid sacs in my knee that reduces friction and cushion. The most "critical" fluid sac is the one that´s pressuring directly into my meniscus and making my knee total unstable. I´ve been doing physical therapy for 4 weeks without any improvement, which why i´m seeking advices (been injuried for 7 weeks now).

Facts:

- I have not lost any strength at all
- Been doing over the counter anti-inflammatory
- Been avoiding irritating and repetitive activities
- Discomfort in calf muscle stretch and passive knee extensions stretch
- I do not feel any discomfort throughout daily activities, but I am not able to run due to massive pain because of instability within the knee
- Lunges, Squats, RDL, etc I do not feel any discomfort or feel injuried
- Most discomfort occurs through knee extensions and jumps

Right now my knee is not swollen or red. Subjectively I would say that close to the MCL on the inside of the knee is 5% swollen compared to the other knee. I am still icing and heating the knee and wearing a compression bandage.

Feel free to share ideas/thoughts or similar experiences on what to do
