A bursa is a filmy-colored sac that protects and cushions your joints. Bursitis means inflammation of one of the bursa sacs.

Bursitis can occur in the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, heels and big toe. Injuries, overuse and repetitive stress are common causes of bursitis. Certain diseases, such as arthritis and gout, might also cause it. It sometimes occurs with tendonitis.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents.
