Information Outlining the Types and Symptoms of Bursitis
Bursitis is unpleasant inflammation or irritation of the bursa.
The bursa is a soft sac filled with fluid that covers and pads the movement between bones, tendons and muscles near joints.
Bursitis can happen due to an injury, infection, chronic overuse of a joint, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout.
General Bursitis Symptoms: Individuals in distress from bursitis usually feel discomfort and tenderness around the affected joint or tendon.
The bursae sacs may swell making movement of the affected joint challenging.
The joints most commonly impacted by bursitis are: * shoulder * elbow * wrist * hand * knee * foot At this point we will discuss symptoms of different kind of bursitis: Shoulder Bursitis: The subdeltoid bursa separates the supraspinatus tendon from the top layer of bone and deltoid muscle.
When this bursa gets swollen due to an injury, it causes pain in the side or front portion of the shoulder.
Symptoms of Shoulder Bursitis: Restricted mobility Localized tenderness Redness and swelling in affected areas Enhanced pain at night Elbow Bursitis: One of the most usual types of bursitis is Elbow Bursitis (Olecranon bursitis).
This bursitis is brought about by the inflammation of bursa in the elbow area.
The elbow is susceptible to bursitis as a result of frequent exposure to direct trauma or repetitive motions from twisting and extending the elbow.
Symptoms of Elbow Bursitis: discomfort around the back of the elbow Inflammation directly over the bony prominence of the tip of the elbow Lessened motion of the elbow Knee Bursitis: Kneecap (prepatellar) bursitis occurs on the front portion of the kneecap.
This is usually associated with either chronic trauma or an acute strike to the knee.
Symptoms of Knee Bursitis: Inflammation on the kneecap may occur as late as 7-10 days after a single blow to the location.
Significant pain when kneeling tension and pain with walking.
Ankle Bursitis: Ankle bursitis (Retrocalcaneal bursitis) comes about when the bursa near the Achilles tendon in the ankle becomes inflamed.
This bursitis is usually caused by wearing incorrectly designed shoes (often high heels) or continuous walking.
It is prevalent in young athletes, ice skaters, and women that often wear high heels.
