Detailed explanation-1: -Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed. The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip. But you can also have bursitis by your knee, heel and the base of your big toe. Bursitis often occurs near joints that perform frequent repetitive motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled pads–called bursae–that act as a cushion between the bones and the tendons and muscles near joints. Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bursitis is an inflammation or irritation of the bursae (plural of “bursa"). The bursae are fluid-filled sacs around joints and tendons, which decrease friction from movement and provide a cushion between bones, tendons, muscles, and skin. Bursitis can be rapid in onset (acute) or build up slowly over time (chronic).

Detailed explanation-4: -What causes bursitis? Repetitive motions, such as a pitcher throwing a baseball over and over, commonly cause bursitis. Also, spending time in positions that put pressure on part of your body, such as kneeling, can cause a flare-up. Occasionally, a sudden injury or infection can cause bursitis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rest the affected area. Avoid any activity or direct pressure that may cause pain. Apply ice or cold packs as soon as you notice pain in your muscles or near a joint. Use pain relievers. Do range-of-motion exercises each day. Avoid tobacco smoke.
