BURSITIS 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.
Pain and tenderness are common symptoms. If the affected joint is
close to the skin, as with the shoulder, knee, elbow, or Achilles
tendon, swelling and redness are seen and the area may feel warm to
the touch. The bursae around the hip joint are deeper, and swelling
is not obvious. Movement may be limited and is painful. In the
shoulder, it may be difficult to raise the arm out from the side of
the body. Putting on a jacket or combing the hair becomes a
troublesome activity.
In acute bursitis symptoms appear suddenly; with chronic bursitis,
pain, tenderness, and limited movement reappear after exercise or
strain. |
