The Treatment of Bursitis and Differential Diagnosis
Author(s): Sai Krishna Reddy*
Bursitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the bursae which are
small sacs filled with fluid that cushion and lubricate the joints. Bursae
are located between tendons, muscles, and bones, and are present
throughout the body. Bursitis is usually caused by repetitive motions,
overuse, or direct trauma to the bursae, which leads to irritation and
inflammation. It can affect any joint in the body, but most commonly
occurs in the shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee. The symptoms of bursitis can
range from mild discomfort to severe pain and limited range of motion.
The treatment of bursitis involves managing the pain and inflammation,
as well as improving joint function. This paper will discuss the differential
diagnosis of bursitis, the causes, symptoms, and treatment options
available.
