Are you feeling sharp severe pain? Is it a dull ache? Does it spread outward from your joint region? There is a possibility you may have Bursitis. Bursitis refers to the inflammation of the bursa region (plural – bursae).
What is a bursa?

Bursa is a fluid-filled bag-like cavity. It helps in protecting bones, ligaments, and tendons. It is lined with a connective tissue called a synovial membrane. This membrane has a synovial fluid that acts as a lubricant. Thus, synovial fluid provides a cushioning effect.
Are you wondering where it lies? It is present throughout your body where bone and tissue rub against each other. Those areas include the following:
Elbow
Shoulder
Knee
Hip
Heel
You can find bursa in places where a little lump can create friction. One such spot is the acromion of your shoulder joint. The acromion is the bony tip at the outer and upper portion of your shoulder. This is the spot where the deltoid muscles connect with the clavicle (collarbone). Below this spot, you can find the ball and socket joint of the shoulder.
In a day, bones and tissues move ...
... over each other hundreds of times. Consider shoulder joint, for example. The fluid-filled subacromial bursa remains between the tendon and acromion. It creates a cushioning space that helps these areas to glide one another.

How Bursitis occurs?

Imagine if your bursa gets irritated? It may get inflamed and infected. Next what? The fluid inside the bursa sac may enlarge it. And this condition leads to more friction and pain.

What are the significant symptoms of Bursitis?

Sharp and sudden pain
Worsening pain at night
Loss of motion – For instance, shoulder bursitis can cause a frozen shoulder.
Stiffness
