Inflammation or irritation of the bursa in the major joints is most
often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the area, or from a
sudden, more serious injury. Age also plays a role. Overuse or
injury to the joint at work or play can also increase a person's
risk of bursitis. Incorrect posture at work or home and poor
stretching or conditioning before exercise can also lead to
bursitis. Anatomic deformities may also add stress on a bursa sac,
causing bursitis. Stress or inflammation from other conditions,
such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, thyroid
disorders, or unusual medication reactions may also increase a
person's risk. In addition, an infection can occasionally lead to
inflammation of a bursa. The most common symptoms of bursitis are
pain, stiffness and swelling. The pain may build up gradually or be
sudden and severe, especially if calcium deposits are present.
Bursitis diagnosis may occur after a clinical examination and it is
usually confirmed by imaging such as with an ultrasound or MRI.
X-ray images can't positively establish the diagnosis of bursitis,
but they can help to exclude other causes of your discomfort.
Bursitis can be treated in a number of ways, including rest,
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, injections
of local anaesthetic or corticosteroids, physical therapy and, in
rare cases, surgery. The authors also discuss the treatment options
for bursitis in this book.
