Bursitis...Bursa?! What the hell is that?

A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts like a cushion between bones, muscles, tendons, and skin, helping to reduce friction and facilitate smooth movement. There are more than 150 bursae in the human body, and they are found near joints like the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and feet. When a bursa becomes inflamed, it can cause pain and discomfort, especially when moving the affected joint. This condition is known as bursitis.
