 Shoulder Bursitis Symptoms

Shoulder Bursitis

Shoulder Bursitis occurs when the Bursa in the shoulder becomes inflamed and swells. Bursa are small, fluid-filled sacs lubricate and cushion pressure points between your bones and the tendons and muscles near your joints. The over 150 bursae in your body help your joints move with ease. Bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed. The inflammation makes movement or pressure on the bursa painful.

Bursitis of the shoulder often results from injury to the rotator cuff, the muscles and tendons that connect your upper arm bone to your shoulder blade. Causes of the injury may include poor posture, falling, lifting and repetitive overhead arm activities. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the pain caused by bursitis and that caused by a rotator cuff injury.  Recurrent flare-ups of bursitis are common.

Shoulder Bursitis Symptoms May Include:

  • A dull ache or stiffness in the area of your shoulder
  • More pain with movement or pressure
  • An area that feels swollen or warm to the touch
  • Occasional skin redness in the area of the inflamed bursa
