Swelling of the fluid filled sac (bursa) next to a joint. The elbow, shoulder, hip and knee are the joints most commonly affected.
The bursa is a fluid filled sac that muscles and tendons roll over near a joint to help reduce friction. A prolonged period of activity can cause the bursa to become inflamed. An inflamed bursa creates greater friction around a joint resulting in stiffness and pain with movement. Bursitis can also occur as a result of pressure on a joint such as leaning on an elbow for a long time. An injury such as falling on a knee can also cause bursitis.
