How is it Detected?
Bursitis can cause various symptoms:
- Pain and tenderness in or around a joint. This is the most common and obvious symptom of bursitis.
- Difficulty moving the affected joint. This occurs because the synovial capsule is inflamed, which hinders the movement of the joint.
- Redness of the skin. The inflamed capsule can cause a change of color in the surrounding skin.
- Burning. The irritation of the capsule can cause the skin to sting and warmer than usual.
Body Parts of Bursitis
Here are some body parts in which adolescents are more likely to develop bursitis:
- Elbow. Since the elbow plays a key role in many activities, like throwing a ball or hit her with a racket, elbow bursitis is one of the most common in adolescents.
- Knee. Knee Bursitis can be caused by a fall on the knee or any activity involving kneeling for long.
- Hip. Hip bursitis is often associated with running injuries.
- Shoulder. Shoulder bursitis can be caused by something as simple as a fall in bad posture or something as complicated as an injury to the rotator cuff (a group of tendons that protects the shoulder).
- Ankle. When jumping, running or walking in excess may develop ankle bursitis. This type of bursitis can also develop for the mere fact of taking the wrong type of shoes to practice certain activities
