Bursitis refers to the inflammation or irritation of the bursa.    The bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid that helps to reduce rubbing, friction and irritation. It is normally located between the bones, muscles, tendons and the skin. This condition is mostly caused by repetitive minor impacts to a specific area or from a sudden serious injury. Age also promotes this disease. As you age, your tendons tolerate less stress, they become less elastic and also easier to tear.
