Bursae cushion the movements 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, housemaid's knee, and miner's elbow, depending on the area of injury. 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. The bursae may become inflamed through traumatic injury, infection, or the development of arthritis. The inflammation then causes

bursitis is a condition where the body's bursa, a cushion between the majorjoints, becomes inflamed. An overview. bursitis What is a bursa?
http://www.umm.edu/spine/bursitis.htm

Extractions: A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a cushion and 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. When the bursae becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis Bursitis is usually a temporary condition. It may restrain motion, but generally does not cause deformity. What causes bursitis? Bursitis can cause pain, localized tenderness and limited motion. Swelling and redness may occur if the inflamed bursa is close to the surface (superficial). Chronic bursitis may involve repeated attacks of pain, swelling, and tenderness, which may lead to the deterioration of muscles and limited range of motion.

http://www.medicalconsumerguide.com/primary_care/arthritis_musculoskeletal_disor

Extractions: Bursae are fluid-filled cavities located at tissue sites where tendons or muscles pass over bony prominences near joints. Their function is to facilitate movement and reduce friction between moving parts. What are the Symptoms of Bursitis? What is the Treatment for Bursitis? Temporary rest or immobilization of the affected joint may be recommended. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be effective in relieving pain and decreasing the inflammation. If the inflammation does not respond to conservative treatment, aspiration of fluid from the bursa and the injection of corticosteroids into the bursa is an alternative treatment. Surgery is rarely required. Exercises for the affected area should be started as the pain resolves. If muscle atrophy has occurred from disuse or prolonged immobility, exercises to build strength and increase mobility are indicated. Bursitis caused by infection is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes surgical drainage of the infected bursa is indicated.

http://www.diagnosticclinic.com/health/bursitis_tendinitis.html

Extractions: Bursitis and Tendinitis WHAT IS BURSITIS AND TENDINITIS? A bursa is a small sac of tissue lined with a membrane and filled with fluid. Bursae are found in areas where tendons or muscles or bones move over one another to allow smooth motion. When the bursa is working properly, tissues slide over each other effortlessly and painlessly. However, when the bursa is inflamed, movement causes pain and dysfunction. A tendon is a tough fibrous cord that forms at the end of a muscle and allows the muscle to ttach to bone. Some tendons are surrounded by a thin layer of tissue called a sheath. When a tendon becomes inflamed, it also is associated with pain and significant loss of motion and function. This is known as tendinitis. WHAT CAUSES BURSITIS AND TENDINITIS? Bursitis and tendinitis are commonly caused by an injury to the tissue, such as might occur in a sporting event. Usually, however, inflammation in these tissues results from "overuse" or "repetitive use" such as can be seen in persons spending long hours on the computer, or clipping hedges, etc. The wear and tear on the tendon or bursa during repeated motion causes the inflammation. Bursitis and tendinitis might also develop at pressure points, such as elbow(olecranon) bursitis in truck drivers who constantly lean on their left elbow as they drive.

http://sportsmedicine.about.com/library/injury/bl_shoulder4.htm

Extractions: What Are Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Impingement Syndrome of the Shoulder? These conditions are closely related and may occur alone or in combination. If the rotator cuff and bursa are irritated, inflamed, and swollen, they may become squeezed between the head of the humerus and the acromion. Repeated motion involving the arms, or the aging process involving shoulder motion over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures. Tendinitis is inflammation (redness, soreness, and swelling) of a tendon. In tendinitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may get trapped under the acromion. Squeezing of the rotator cuff is called impingement syndrome.

Extractions: Bursitis Standard Definition of Bursitis Painful inflammation of a bursa, a pouch containing a small amount of fluid that is found at a spot subject to friction, such as a joint or where a tendon and bone come together. Cause: The problem of bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed, and there is an accumulation of fluid. There can also be a buildup of calcium in the joint or effected area. The general cause of this condition in the shoulder joint seems to be an inaccurate use of the joint. Bursitis seems to develop when alignment of the shoulder joint has been violated or misused over a long period of time. When correct alignment is introduced to your shoulder area the bursitis problem will start to releases. I say this because I have been clearing up this condition in very dramatic fashion, in about 10 to 20 minutes of alignment manipulation. Also using movement sessions to release the muscles of the afflicted area is important. Lets look at some things that you can do to help relieve the problem of bursitis. Locate the actual joint of the arm by examining a picture of the whole shoulder and arm joint. This will give you a feeling-understanding of the joint.

Wow, was that a mouth full, in simple terms: synorial fluid is the lubricant for your joints and the bursa is a bag the keeps the fluid in the area where it is needed. So in certain cases this bag or bursa sac will become inflamed. Some of the most common bursa effected are in the knees shoulders or elbows. Next Page Last modified: July 31, 2001

I have been taking Advil for the pain but I don't think it's a good idea to keep taking it every time it flares up. It hurts mainly when I mo ve it. Aching Dear Aching, Bursitis, that dull misery in the shoulder or knee, can strike anybody, from sedentary people to highly trained athletes. Bursae are small, closed, fluid-filled sacs that protect muscles and tendons from irritation produced by contact with bones. Their normal function is to keep the movement of muscles and tendons smooth and painless, but if friction gets too great, from over-exercising, hard work, or injury, the bursae themselves get inflamedthus, bursitis. It may be hard to tell whether you have bursitis or tendonitis, but bursitis is usually characterized by a dull, persistent ache that increases with movement (in contrast to the sharp pain typical of tendonitis). If you do develop bursitis, try the following: Rest the part of your body that hurts. If you suspect that one activity has caused the pain, stop it for awhile.

Extractions: Bursitis 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 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. Treatment Options Treatment Plan Sometimes simply resting and elevating the joint is the only treatment needed to let the joint heal. A splint or sling can support the joint and keep it from moving. Applying heat or cold can reduce pain and swelling. For more severe bursitis your health care provider may prescribe ultrasound therapy or drugs that can further reduce swelling and pain. In rare instances the bursa is surgically removed.

Demographics - Usually occurs in people who frequently work on their knees such as carpet layers, landscapers, housemaids for whom "housemaid's knee" was named and in people who are obsessive about the cleanliness of their kitchen floor. Individuals with an infected bursa usually have had trauma that resulted in a break in the skin. 2. Symptoms - Usually a mildly to moderatly painful swelling on the anterior surface of the patella that may limit the full flexion/extension of the knee when large. If infected, it can be quite painful and there may be an overlying cellulitis. 3. Signs - Palpable swelling on the anterior surface of the patella that might be quite tense and mildly tender. If infected it will be very tender and warm and usually have overlying erythema. It is usually easy to distinguish from a knee effusion by examination although with an infected bursa, the patient may not let you palpate the knee to do a through exam. In general though even with a septic bursa, the knee is able to move without pain except at extremes of motion. 4. Laboratory Data

Symptoms - pain with walking and lying with the knees together. 3. Signs - Tenderness over the medial tibia at the pes anserinus bursa that reproduces the pain. 4. Therapy - It is occasionally helpful to confirm that this is really the site of the pain by injecting the bursa with a few cc's of lidocaine and then having the patient walk around to see if the pain is really gone. Therapy can be anything from NSAID's, ice after activity, heat while resting, and a corticosteroid injection. If the patient has mild to moderate valgus angulation of the knee with standing, they might benefit from a lateral wedge inserted into the shoe to reduce the tension on the anserine bursa.
