Overview

The symptoms of bursitis vary based on the location of the inflammation. Focal swelling, pain, and redness are symptoms common to all forms of bursitis. Limbing, upper or lower extremity weakness, and fever are possible depending on the type of bursitis. Obtaining a complete history is helpful in determining whether the bursitis is associated with any specific hobbies or work-related activities.[1][2][3]

History and symptoms

It is critical to collect a detailed and thorough history from the patient. Obtaining a complete history will be helpful in determining whether the bursitis is associated with any specific activities.

History

Specific areas to focus on when obtaining a history from the patient include:[1]

Type of Bursitis History
Subacromial bursitis[2]
Olecranon bursitis[4][5]
  • History of direct trauma to the posterior elbow
  • History of microtrauma, such as constantly rubbing the elbow against a table while writing
  • History of certain occupations, such as plumbers and technicians
  • History of systemic inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis
  • History of crystal deposition disease, including gout and pseudogout
Trochanteric bursitis[6][7]
Prepatellar bursitis[3][8]
Retrocalcaneal bursitis[1][9]

Symptoms

The symptoms of bursitis differ based on the anatomic location. Localized pain with movement and decreased range of motion (ROM) are symptoms common to all forms of bursitis. Localized redness or warmth are variable and seen in superficial bursitis. Septic bursitis is associated with fever, in addition to other symptoms.


Type of Bursitis Symptoms
Subacromial bursitis[2]
  • Mid-shoulder pain early in the course of bursitis, which gradually increases over time; eventually pain may be felt even at rest
  • Pain after repetitive activity such as painting, throwing a ball, or playing tennis
  • Pain worsens at night
  • Popping sensation with shoulder movements
Olecranon bursitis[4][5]
  • Painful or painless focal swelling at the posterior elbow
Trochanteric bursitis[6][7]
  • Pain in the lateral side of the hip with walking, running, or stair-climbing
  • Weakness of the lower extremities
  • Pain with active and passive motion
Prepatellar bursitis[3][8]
Retrocalcaneal bursitis[1][9]
  • Swelling at the back of heel
  • Pain at the back of the heel, especially when running uphill
  • Pain while standing on tiptoes
