Bursitis

What it is:
Bursas are smooth, slippery surfaces that often lie near joints, between muscles and tendons. Their job is to help muscles and tendons move easily and painlessly.

Sometimes bursas become swollen and inflamed, due to repetitive motion or injury. This causes friction between the muscle and tendon, causing pain. This condition is called bursitis.

Where it occurs:
Bursitis can appear throughout the body, most commonly occurs in the shoulder and hip area.

The Symptoms:
Patients with bursitis may experience:

	Tenderness in the affected area
