Shoulder Impingement Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Bursitis
Found in the rotator cuff, and in other joints in the body, are fluid-filled sacs known as bursae. These sacs perform the role of providing a cushion between bones, cartilage, and muscle to help make everything move smoothly and prevent injuries. These sacs can become inflamed in a condition that is known as bursitis.
Bursitis can develop in patients that have a shoulder impingement. The symptoms of the condition include aching and stiff joints, redness and swelling, a fever, and pain when moving the joint. Treatment usually includes medication and therapy, although surgery may be a necessity in some cases.
