10 Symptoms of Bursitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Fever and Chills
This non-specific symptom is related to septic bursitis, a condition where the cause of the inflammation is an infectious process. Fever occurs when the body’s set point in temperature is increased as it helps the body’s immune system fight off infection better.
Chills describe a feeling of coldness when the body’s set point of temperature is increased. This can lead to shivering where the muscles in the body contract to produce heat as an effort to increase body temperature to meet the new set point of body temperature.
