Understanding bursitis

Bursitis is a painful inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that protect the joints. In our private clinics in Montreal, Longueuil and Laval, our doctors assess and treat this condition, which can affect various joints such as the shoulder, elbow, hip or knee. The treatment of bursitis requires a personalized approach, combining rest, therapy and anti-inflammatory medication according to the patient’s specific needs.

Symptoms of bursitis

Bursitis manifests itself as localized pain that intensifies with movement or local pressure. The affected joint becomes tender, red and swollen. In the case of acute bursitis, pain may be sharp and sudden, significantly limiting mobility. For chronic bursitis, symptoms may be more moderate but persistent, causing constant discomfort during daily activities. Inflammation may be accompanied by joint stiffness, particularly in the morning or after a period of immobility.

Risks of bursitis

Without appropriate treatment, bursitis can progress from an acute to a chronic condition, leading to significant functional limitations. Repetitive movements or continuous pressure on the joint can aggravate the inflammation. In some cases, untreated bursitis can lead to tissue calcification or infection. Reduced mobility can also affect quality of life and professional activities.
