Symptom #3: Swelling and Edema
Bursitis is a condition that can cause swelling and edema in the surrounding areas of the affected region. It refers to the swelling of the bursa which is a fluid filled sac that functions as a cushion between bones and other moving parts such as tendons or muscles.
To reduce the risk of bursitis, patients are advised not to be dormant for long durations and to cushion your body parts such as knees and elbows when there is pressure on them. It is also advisable to take breaks from repetitive activities and can be treated via rest, medication, and gentle exercises. Severe cases may require surgery.
