Bursitis: A Comprehensive Exploration

Bursitis is a common and painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs called bursae that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints. These bursae help reduce friction and allow smooth movement, but when they become inflamed, it can lead to significant discomfort and limited mobility.

Bursitis can occur in various parts of the body, including the shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee, and it is often caused by repetitive movements or prolonged pressure on the joint.
