Bursitis occurs when the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion your joints, become inflamed. These sacs help reduce friction between bones and soft tissues like muscles and tendons. When they get irritated, it can cause pain and discomfort in the affected joint.
Common symptoms of bursitis include:
- Pain 😖🔥: The most noticeable symptom is pain, especially with movement. It can be sharp or aching and may get worse over time.
- Swelling 🦵💧: The affected area may become swollen due to extra fluid in the inflamed bursae. This can make the joint feel stiff and tight.
- Redness 🌡️❤️: The skin around the inflamed joint may appear red and feel warm to the touch because of inflammation.
- Limited Movement 🚫🤕: As pain and swelling increase, joint movement becomes difficult. Simple activities like lifting, bending, or reaching may become a challenge.
Bursitis can affect various joints, but it’s most common in the shoulder, elbow, or knee. It’s usually caused by repetitive movements, injury, infection, or even underlying conditions like arthritis.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a professional. Dr. Divyanshu, a Shoulder Surgeon in Lucknow 👨⚕️🏥, can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatment.
