Symptoms
The symptoms of bursitis differ based on the anatomic location. Localized tenderness or pain with movement and decreased range of motion (ROM) are symptoms common to all forms of bursitis. Localized erythema or edema are variable and seen in superficial bursitis. In septic bursitis, the joint pain can also be associated with fever.
