Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. Bursae help reduce friction during movement and allow joints to function smoothly.
When a bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it can cause pain, swelling, tenderness, and reduced mobility.
Bursitis commonly affects joints that experience repetitive movement or prolonged pressure, including the shoulder, hip, elbow, and knee.
Without proper treatment, bursitis can become chronic and significantly impact daily function.
Symptoms may develop gradually or suddenly depending on the cause.
