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?

UI Back Care Send comments and questions to staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 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 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).

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
