What is Bursitis?
And why is your bursitis not getting better?
Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs — called bursae.
These fluid filled sacs exist to cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints.
Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed. The inflammation often causes pain and swelling in the area.
The most common locations for bursitis are in the:
-
- shoulder- sub-acromial bursitis
- elbow – olecranon bursitis
- hip – trochanteric bursitis
- knee suprapatellar bursitis
