  BURSITIS OVERVIEW […] A bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid located in and around joints. Bursae (the plural of „bursa”) act like „cushions” or „shock absorbers”; they reduce friction between moving parts in the body, such as bones, joints, tendons, and skin. The major bursae are found in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Some of them are close to the skin (ie, superficial bursae), while others are farther below the skin (ie, deep bursae). […] When a bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, this is called „bursitis.” Bursitis may cause pain, redness, and swelling. It can be mistaken as pain coming from the joint itself. […] TREATMENT […] All people with bursitis are treated with supportive care, including the following: […] Rest – Rest your joints and avoid activities that cause repetitive pressure or movement of the painful area. Think about what activities involve repetitive movements or positions that worsen your symptoms.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470331/

  Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that produce small amounts of synovial fluid to reduce friction between mobile structures of the musculoskeletal system. Inflammation of the bursa due to prolonged pressure, overuse, trauma or arthritis, causes excess fluid production and leads to swelling and irritation, known as bursitis. Septic (or infectious) bursitis occurs when infection from either direct inoculation, hematogenous or direct spread from other sites causes inflammatory bursitis. Bursa aspiration and fluid analysis must be completed to make an accurate diagnosis. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of septic bursitis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team to improve care for patients with this condition. […] Treatment for septic bursitis is always antibiotic therapy. Injection of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be offered to control pain and injection of corticosteroids can be offered to cases where pain can not be controlled by NSAIDs.

  Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bone and muscle, skin or tendon. The type of bursitis depends on where the affected bursa is located. This soft tissue condition commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, buttocks, knees and calf. Athletes, the elderly and people who do repetitive movements like manual laborers and musicians are more likely to get bursitis. […] Bursitis causes swelling, tenderness and pain in areas around a joint. It will be painful to move the affected joint through its full range of motion. The pain of bursitis can occur suddenly, may last for days or longer and usually gets better with rest or treatment. Bursitis can also happen in the same area more than once. […] Bursitis may go away over time with self-care. If it doesn’t, a primary care doctor will focus on reducing pain and inflammation and preserving mobility. The doctor may refer you to a rheumatologist, an orthopedic surgeon or a physical therapist for specialized treatment. When properly treated, bursitis doesn’t result in permanent joint damage or disability.

It occurs when the bursa becomes irritated and produces too much fluid, which causes it to swell and put pressure on the adjacent parts of the knee. […] Nonsurgical treatment is usually effective as long as the bursa is simply inflamed and not infected: […] If the swelling and pain do not respond to these measures, your doctor may drain (aspirate) the bursa with a needle, then inject the bursa with a corticosteroid (cortisone injection). The corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory drug that is stronger than medications that can be taken by mouth. […] Infectious bursitis is initially treated with antibiotics. Surgical drainage is required if the infection does not respond to antibiotics alone. […] You can help prevent bursitis by following these simple recommendations: Wear kneepads if you work on your knees or participate in contact sports such as football, basketball, or wrestling.

  BURSITIS OVERVIEW […] A bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid located in and around joints. Bursae (the plural of „bursa”) act like „cushions” or „shock absorbers”; they reduce friction between moving parts in the body, such as bones, joints, tendons, and skin. When a bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, this is called „bursitis.” Bursitis may cause pain, redness, and swelling. […] TREATMENT […] All people with bursitis are treated with supportive care, including the following: […] Rest – Rest your joints and avoid activities that cause repetitive pressure or movement of the painful area. […] Supportive devices – Compressive bandages or pads may be needed to promote joint rest and help relieve pressure on the affected bursa. […] Ice – Apply a bag of ice or a cold gel pack covered in a thin towel on the painful area for about 15 minutes every few hours.
