Bursa: A small fluid filled sac that provides a cushion
between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint.
Bursitis is a common condition where one of these fluid filled
sacs becomes inflamed. Common areas for bursitis are the
shoulder, elbow, knee, and hip. Overuse or injury to the joint
at work or play increases a person’s risk of bursitis. Examples
of high risk activities include gardening, raking, carpentry,
and painting. Tennis, golf, skiing, throwing and pitching also
increase your risk of developing bursitis. Poor posture and
poor stretching before exercising can also lead to bursitis.
