 ==Overview==
-'''Bursitis''' is the [[inflammation]] of one or more [[Bursa (anatomy)|bursae]], or small sacs of [[synovial fluid]], in the body. Bursae rest at the points where internal functionaries, like [[muscle]]s and [[tendon]]s, slide across [[bone]]. Healthy bursae create a smooth and almost frictionless gliding surface. With hundreds of them throughout the body they provide this surface for all motion, making movement normally painless. When bursitis takes hold, however, movement that relies on the inflamed bursa becomes rough and painful. Movement of tendons and muscles over the inflamed bursa causes it to become more inflamed, perpetuating the problem.
