Understanding Shoulder Bursitis
What is Shoulder Bursitis?
Shoulder bursitis occurs when the bursa—a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the joints—becomes inflamed. The subacromial bursa, located between the rotator cuff tendons and the shoulder blade (acromion), is the most commonly affected bursa in the shoulder. Inflammation of this bursa can cause significant pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the shoulder, especially during overhead activities.
Common Causes
- Repetitive Overhead Movements: Activities involving repeated overhead motions, such as swimming, tennis, painting, or lifting, can cause irritation and inflammation of the bursa.
- Shoulder Injuries: Trauma or injury to the shoulder, such as falls or direct impacts, can lead to bursitis.
- Poor Posture: Slouching or forward shoulder posture can place excessive pressure on the shoulder bursa, increasing the risk of inflammation.
- Rotator Cuff Tendonitis or Impingement: Shoulder impingement or damage to the rotator cuff can contribute to bursitis by irritating the bursa.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to bursitis in the shoulder joint due to increased friction and joint inflammation.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Shoulder Pain: Sharp or aching pain in the shoulder, particularly when lifting the arm or reaching overhead.
- Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling and tenderness around the affected area, which may worsen with movement.
- Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the shoulder, especially during activities that involve lifting the arm above the head.
- Pain at Rest: Pain may persist even when the shoulder is at rest, particularly when lying on the affected side.
- Weakness: Weakness in the shoulder muscles, making it difficult to lift objects or perform routine tasks.
