What is bursitis?
Inflammation of the bursa is known as bursitis. A bursa is a small sac containing fluid that lies between tendons and bones. A bursa allows a tendon to move smoothly over a bone by acting as an anti-friction device and shielding tendons from rubbing against bones. Bursae are found in the knee, elbow, shoulder and wrist. If the tendons become thickened and bumpy from excessive use, the bursa is subjected to increased friction and may become inflamed. Where are the symptoms? The main symptom of bursitis is pain. In some cases, especially for shoulder bursitis, people may experience some restriction of movement. How is bursitis recognized?

Introduction: Shoulder bursitis
Shoulder bursitis: Tendinitis and impingement syndrome are often accompanied by inflammation of the bursa sacs that protect the shoulder. An inflamed bursa is called bursitis. Inflammation caused by a disease such as rheumatoid arthritis may cause rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis. Sports involving overuse of the shoulder and occupations requiring frequent overhead reaching are other potential causes of irritation to the rotator cuff or bursa and may lead to inflammation and impingement.

Bursitis
Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae sacs. These tiny fluid- filled sacs are located between your bones and the tendons and muscles near your joints. They are found in areas subject to friction, such as locations where tendons pass over bony landmarks. Bursae lubricate and cushion pressure points to help you move without pain. Movement or pressure is painful to a particular joint when the bursae sacs in that area become inflamed. Bursitis may be caused by injury, some diseases, and most commonly, from overuse or repeated pressure. The main symptom of bursitis is pain over the joint, especially with moving. There may be some swelling. The pain is usually worse after rest, but gets better after moving. Exercise may make the pain worse. Common places to have bursitis are the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Treatment of bursitis can start at home by resting the painful joint. There should be no weight bearing activity (such as standing and walking) until evaluated by a healthcare provider. Cloth-covered ice packs may be put on the painful area for no more than 20 minutes at a time 4 to 8 times a day. This can be done for the first 24 to 48 hours.

    Bursitis of the Shoulder Bursae are fluid-filled cavities near joints where tendons or muscles pass over bony projections. They assist movement and reduce friction between moving parts. Bursitis can be caused by chronic overuse, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis gout , or infection. Sometimes the cause cannot be determined. Bursitis commonly occurs in the shoulder, knee (washmaid's knee), elbow, and hip. Other areas that may be affected include the Achilles tendon and the foot.

    Bursitis / Students elbow What is students elbow? Below the tip of the elbow is a sack of fluid called a bursa. A bursa is used to help lubricate the movement of tissues in joints. However if you take a hard impact onto the back of the elbow or are constantly leaning on the elbows the bursa can become inflammed or bleeding can occur in the bursa. The result is a painful swelling on the bony bit at the back of the elbow. Symptoms include:
    • Pain at rest and during exercise. A painful swelling on the back of the elbow. Limited mobility in the elbow.
    How can bursitis in the elbow be avoided?
    • Wear elbow guards if playing a game such as cricket where you can get hit on the elbow. Do not spend long periods of time leaning on the elbows.
    What can you do about it?
    • Rest and apply ice is about all you can do. See a sports injury professional.
    What can a sports injury specialist or doctor do?
    • Aspirate the bursa (stick a needle in and suck off the fluid). Immobilize the arm.

    Bursitis of the hip What is hip bursitis? On the outside of the hip are two bursas. The outer one can become inflammed from a direct blow or impact. Either of the two can become inflammed from friction caused by overuse. Inflammation in the bursa will mean it will swell up. If you over pronate then you are more susceptible to this injury. Symptoms include:
    • Pain on the outside of the hip which is worse during running? Pain when you press in on the outside of the hip? Intense pain and swelling on the outside of the hip? Pain which radiates down the thigh at night?
    Hip bursa What can the athlete do about it?
    • Rest until there is no pain. Apply ice to the area. Run only on flat, even surfaces. See a sports injury professional.
    What can a sports injury specialist or doctor do?
    • Stick a needle in the bursa and drain off the fluid (aspirate it). Prescribe anti-inflammatory medication e.g. ibuprofen. Give a steroid injection followed by rest.

    What is pes anserine bursitis?
    Pes anserine bursitis is an irritation or inflammation of a bursa in your knee. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between tendons, bones, and skin. The pes anserine bursa is located on the inner side of the knee just below the knee joint. Tendons of three muscles attach to the shin bone (tibia) over this bursa. These muscles act to bend the knee, bring the knees together, and cross the legs. Pes anserine bursitis is common in swimmers who do the breaststroke and is sometimes called breaststroker's knee.

    Bursitis
    What is bursitis?
    Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that surrounds joints or tendons. A bursa reduces friction by cushioning muscles or tendons and bones that move back and forth across each other. The elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, and other joints contain a cushioning bursa.
    How does it occur?
    Irritation, injury, or pressure to a bursa can cause inflammation, resulting in swelling and pain. Causes of bursitis include:
    • Injury of a joint from sports activities, such as baseball, tennis, racquetball, and running, can cause the disorder. Frequent irritation or friction on a body part from other activities, including everyday household jobs such as yard work, shoveling dirt or snow, and house painting, can cause bursitis.

    Bursitis What is a bursa?
    A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that functions as a cushion and gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. Bursitis is usually a temporary condition. It may restrain motion, but generally does not cause deformity. What causes bursitis?
    The most common causes of bursitis are injury or overuse, although infection may also be a cause. Bursitis is also associated with other diseases, such as arthritis, thyroid disease, and diabetes. What are the symptoms of bursitis?
    The following are the most common symptoms of bursitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Bursitis can cause pain, localized tenderness, and limited motion. Swelling and redness may occur if the inflamed bursa is close to the surface (superficial). Chronic bursitis may involve repeated attacks of pain, swelling, and tenderness, which may lead to the deterioration of muscles and a limited range-of-motion.

    Bursitis
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Inflammation of the bursa in a male human shoulder Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursa , or small sacks of oil, in the body. The bursa rest at the points where internal functionaries, like muscles and tendons , slide across bone . In the bursa’s proper state, they create a smooth and almost frictionless surface over which to glide. With hundreds of them throughout the body they provide this surface for all human motion, making movement ideally painless. When Bursitis takes hold, however, those movements that rely on a specific sac become rough and painful. Movement of tendons and muscles over the inflamed bursa only causes it to become more inflamed, perpetuating the problem. Bursitis is commonly caused by repetition of movement or excessive pressure. The elbow and the knee are the most common because they are rested upon more than many parts of the body with bursas and they also get the most repetitive use. Bursitis can also occur because of other inflammatory conditions such as
