10 Symptoms of Bursitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Warmth
In certain cases of bursitis where an infection is involved, the affected area is often warm to the touch. This means that the temperature of the skin overlaying the area of the inflamed bursa is much warmer compared to other parts of the body.
Other associated symptoms that can be noticed include redness and swelling. If you suspect septic bursitis, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible as the infection may involved the surrounding tendons, muscles, and joints causing septic arthritis that can be much more complicated and result in damage to the affected joints.
