Bursitis
Bursitis
Is the inflammation of one or more bursae (small sacs) of synovial fluid in the
body.
Painful condition that affect the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion
the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints.
Physical therapy is another treatment option that is often used. This includes range-
of-motion exercises and splinting (thumb, forearm, or bands).
Surgery, although rarely needed, may be an option when bursitis does not respond
to the other treatment options.
