What is bursitis?

Another form of arthritis.
This is not to be dismissed. Just one of the arthritis's they diagnosed me with before they gave me a test for rheumatoid arthritis.
Very painful, or can be when it flairs up. Your joints become inflamed, swelling. It HURTS!
Anyhoo get on the computer look it up, practice this word "inflammatory", say it with me now. If this is what you have you will hear this word a lot. Taking inflammatory will make the swelling go down, this is the pain will subside some. I am in love with ibuprofen, though hard on the stomach..
Good luck read up on it.

Inflamation of the fluid sacks that cushion your joints.

It is when you rupture the bursa sack in your joints...I had it in my elbow, and it swelled up the size of a tennis ball. It wasn't painful, I just couldn't move it. The doctor had to drain it before it became hardened. It sucked.

Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa. The bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid, located between tissues such as bone, muscle, tendons, and skin, that decreases rubbing, friction, and irritation.
