Bursitis

Bursitis is a painful inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. It’s usually caused by repetitive motion or injury. 

Symptoms are pain and tenderness around the affected joint, swelling around the joint, and difficulty moving the joint. 

Common locations include the hip, shoulder, knee and heel.

Typical causes of bursitis; 

• Repetitive minor impact on the area
• Sudden, more serious injury
• Sitting or standing the wrong way for a long time
• Not stretching enough before exercising
