Bursitis may be septic, calcific, acute, or chronic. Acute and chronic bursitis follows recurring trauma that stresses or pressures a joint, or inflammatory joint disease, such as; gout. Septic bursitis follows wound infection or bacterial invasion of skin over the bursa. Symptoms: Inflammation of affected site Irritation Pain Limited mobility or movement Treatment: Treatment to relieve pain includes: Resting and immobilization of the affected area. Systemic analgesics analgesics Application of cold and heat Ultrasound Doctor may prescribed an injection of an anesthetic and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation Steroid therapy R.O.M. execercise/Physical therapy Anti-inflammatory medication Long term control of chronic bursitis may required changes in life-style to prevent recurring joint irritation.

Dr. Shiel is currently practicing in the field of rheumatology at the Arthritis Center of Southern Orange County, California and is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at University of California, Irvine. Dr. Shiel is also the Chief Editor at MedicineNet.com Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. How does a bursa become inflamed? A bursa can become inflamed from injury, infection, or underlying rheumatic condition. Examples include injury as subtle as lifting a bag of groceries into the car to inflame the shoulder bursa (shoulder bursitis), infection of the bursa in front of the knee from a knee scraping on asphalt (septic prepatellar bursitis), and inflammation of the elbow bursa from gout crystals (gouty olecranon bursitis).

But anyone whos experienced the pain of bursitis knows that its no laughing matter. The bursa is a fluid-filled sac that helps protect muscle, ligaments, tendons, or skin that rubs across bone. There are bursae throughout our bodies, but the ones where inflammation most commonly occurs are at the shoulder, elbow, knee, and heel. The painful inflammation of a bursa is called bursitis. Its caused by bumping or bruising, repeated pressure, or overuse. It can develop after an activity you re not used to doing or after increasing a familiar activity. If you havent been in the garden, and you start hoeing several rows. That one exposure may give you acute bursitis," says Jack Harvey. M.D., chief of sports medicine at the Orthopaedic Center of the Rockies in Fort Collins, Colorado. "Conversely. swimmers who swim 5.000 yards a day may do fine until they up their workout to 7,500 yards a day." Sometimes, bursitis can flare up without a clue as to its cause. All you know is, it hurts. "It can occur spontaneously with no real clear precipitating event, or doing an activity that youve done a million times," says Joseph P. lannotti, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of orthopedic surgery and chief of Shoulder Service at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Arthritis Juvenile Arthritis Autoimmmune Diseases Lupus ... Clinical Immunology Lab Bursitis and Tendonitis Joints are sites of motion between two bones, each of which is lined with a smooth, friction free surface called articular cartilage. The alignment and stability of the joint are maintained by supportive structures called ligaments and tendons, and cushioning of the joints is provided by fluid filled sacs called bursae. Ligaments are cord like structures that run from bone to bone, while tendons run from muscle to bone. Inflammation of either structure at the site of attachment to the bone is known as enthesopathy, while inflammation of the bursae is known as bursitis. Inflammation of ligaments, tendons, and bursae can occur as a result of trauma to the joint or as result of overuse such as in athletic injury. Inflammation of the structures around a joint can also occur as one the first signs of a systemic inflammatory arthritis. In sero-negative arthritis (psoriatic arthritis, colitic arthritis, Reiter's syndrome) enthesopathy is often the first and most significant manifestation of the disease and is best treated by a rheumatologist with systemic anti-inflammatory medications. Our physicians can quickly determine if inflammation of a ligament, tendon, or bursae represents a mechanical problem or an inflammatory problem. If the problem is mechanical we can provide treatment by a staff orthopedist with specialization in sports medicine and can provide access to state of the art physical therapy in a variety of convenient locations. If the problem is systemic inflammatory arthritis, our rheumatologists can provide treatment with a wide variety of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive medications as well as access to novel treatments, which are not yet approved for general use, through our ambulatory clinical research center (ACRS). Our rheumatologists, orthopedists, and physiatrists work together to insure an integrated plan of care

Return Records Trochanteric Bursitis Causes Symptoms Treatment What is Trochanteric Bursitis? Trochanteric bursitis is a condition affecting the side or lateral aspect of the hip. Although trochanteric bursitis usually affects middle-aged or elderly persons, women more often than men, it can develop in younger people also.  As in other forms of bursitis, there is swelling in the bursa causing pain and inflammation. There are hundreds of bursae (plural for bursa) in the human body, especially in the joints of the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle.  These small sacs of fluid cushion the places where tendons, ligaments, and muscles move over bones.  They help prevent or decrease friction between surfaces that move in opposite directions.  When bursae become inflamed, there is pain whenever the affected part of the body is used. Disorders of the hip are very disruptive, as they affect the joint in the body that gives us mobility while walking and stability while sitting or bending at the waist.  They can also cause pain while lying on the affected side of the body.

The bursae are small fluid filled sacs that are located between tendons and the bone all over the human body. They aid in muscular movement by cushioning against friction between your bones and other tissues. An inflamed bursa causes pain, tenderness to the touch of the affected body part, and limits mobility. There may occur redness and swelling in the area. Bursitis can be caused by injury, chronic overuse, reactions to certain foods, airborn allergies , repetitive motion (see carpal tunnel syndrome ), and tense muscles. Frequently, it is the bursae in the hip and shoulder joints that are affected. Bursitis affecting the arm is often called "tennis elbow" or "frozen shoulder."

Supporting Research Bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa, a small structure inside every joint that helps to lubricate and cushion it. Usually bursitis occurs in the larger joints, such as the shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow. It can happen once or can recur over time. Without seeing your health care provider, you usually can't easily tell the difference between bursitis and pain caused by a strain or arthritis. Signs and Symptoms Pain in the joint that gets worse when you move the joint (the pain may come all at once or develop gradually over time) Swelling Redness Fever and warm joint area (if an infection is present) What Causes It? Typically the bursa becomes irritated or injured when the area is overused with repetitive motion or strenuous activity. It may also be caused by a bacterial infection. Certain other medical conditions, such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis, can also cause bursitis. What to Expect at Your Provider's Office Your health care provider will ask you to identify exactly where the joint hurts and feel the joint for swelling or particular areas of tenderness. Your health care provider may remove some fluid from the bursa with a small needle to check for signs of infection. You may also be given a blood test to check for other medical conditions.

A syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms that occur together and indicate a particular problem. This type of syndrome produces pain, swelling, or inflammation in the tissues and structures around a joint, such as the tendons, ligaments, bursae, and muscles (see figure 1). Immediate medical attention If fever, chills, persistent redness, or swelling occur in a person with a soft tissue rheumatic syndrome, the person should see a doctor immediately to rule out infection. Facts and myths Because the structures affected by soft tissue rheumatic syndromes are near joints, pain in these areas may be mistaken for arthritis. The difference is that arthritis means inflammation in the joint itself, not in the structures around the joint.

Resources Definition Bursitis is the painful inflammation of the bursa, a padlike sac found in areas subject to friction. Bursae cushion the movement between the bones, tendons and muscles near the joints. Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive movement and is known by several common names including weaver's bottom, clergyman's knee, and miner's elbow, depending on the affected individual's occupation and area of injury. Description There are over 150 bursae in the human body. Usually bursae are present from birth, but they may form in response to repeated pressure. Each sac contains a small amount of synovial fluid, a clear liquid that acts as a lubricant. Inflammation causes pain on movement. The most common site for bursitis to occur is the shoulder (subdeltoid), but it also is seen in the elbows (olecranon), hips (trochanteric), knees, heels (Achilles), and toes. The affected area may be referred to as "frozen," because movement is so limited. In the knee there are four bursae, and all can become inflamed with overuse. Causes and symptoms The most common cause of bursitis is repeated physical activity, but it can flare up for no known reason. It can also be caused by trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and acute or chronic infection.

Recommendations This condition occurs when bursa (sacs of fluid that cushion movement between the bones, tendons and muscles at your joints) become painfully inflamed. Usually caused by repetitive movement or prolonged excessive pressure, other causes include acute or chronic infection (notably staphylococcal) or tuberculosis . It can also occur alongside other common joint problems such as arthritis or gout The most common area affected is the shoulder but it can also occur at the knees ("Housemaid's Knee"), the buttocks ("Weaver's Bottom" - caused by sitting on hard surfaces for extended periods), elbows ("Miner's Elbow" - today caused by more modern activities such as vacuuming), hips, heels and even at the base of the big toe. Removing pressure from and/or immobilizing the affected joint can help significantly and with treatment it can be made to disappear within a couple of weeks. The chances of it recurring are minimized by strengthening your muscles (strong muscles protect joints) through appropriate exercise once the pain and inflammation is gone; taking more breaks during repetitive activities; and cushioning joints to avoid extended direct contact with hard surfaces.

BURSITIS AND TENDINITIS WHAT IS IT? Every year more than 12 million Americans suffer from bursitis and tendinitis, two common injuries to soft tissues near the joints. Bursitis affects a bursa, one of many small fluid-filled sacs that cushion muscles, bones, and tendons when you move. Tendinitis affects the tendons, hardworking bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. If you injure a joint or use it too much, a nearby bursa or tendon may swell. The result: pain-sometimes fiery and throbbing, sometimes sharp and aching. If you move the joint, the pain often feels worse. You're more likely to get bursitis or tendinitis if you do a lot of repeated motions, such as hammering, typing, or assembly line work. You're also at greater risk if you run regularly or play certain sports, such as tennis. In fact, tendinitis in the outer elbow is nicknamed "tennis elbow." These injuries most often heal with one to two weeks of rest. But they can get worse if you don't let the injured area recover. Tendinitis and bursitis can become chronic if untreated. That means the symptoms come and go, and may last a lifetime. You can do a lot to prevent tendinitis and bursitis. Easing strain on your bursae and tendons, exercising safely, stretching regularly, and warming up before playing sports all help. If you already have tendinitis or bursitis, you can take steps to ease the pain and reduce the swelling.
