Overview
Bursitis most typically occurs in the elbow, shoulder, or hip, although it can also occur in the heel, the knee, or the base of the big toe.
Symptoms can vary from an ache and stiffness in the local area of the joint, to a burning that surrounds the whole joint around the inflamed bursa. With this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the bursa and surrounding joint area can become stiffer the following day.
