Bursitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the bursae, which are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion and protect joints throughout your body. Let’s explore it in more detail:

1. What Are Bursae?:

   • Bursae are like bubble wrap for your joints, providing cushioning between bones, muscles, tendons, and skin.

   • They help reduce friction during movement.

2. Causes of Bursitis:

   • Overuse and excessive pressure on a bursa are common causes.

   • Repetitive motions, kneeling, and spending time in positions that stress specific body parts can lead to bursitis.

3. Symptoms:

   • Pain, especially during movement.

   • Limited range of motion in the affected joint.

   • Swelling around the joint.

   • In cases of infection-related bursitis, additional symptoms may include redness, warmth, fever, and chills.

4. Risk Factors:

   • Athletes, people with physically demanding jobs, and those with poor posture are more susceptible to bursitis.

5. Treatment and Prevention:

   • Rest, ice, and pain relievers can help.

   • Physical therapy and lifestyle modifications are essential.

   • Protect vulnerable body parts during activities.

   • Maintain a healthy weight.
