I went to the MRI place and got the cd of my MRI and they told me pretty much in a letter this is what
I have, so I was kinda curious if anyone else had this?
What is bursitis?
A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. "Bursae" is plural for "bursa." The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as "bursitis." Most commonly, bursitis is caused by local soft tissue trauma or strain injury, and there is no infection (aseptic bursitis). On rare occasions, the bursa can become infected with bacteria. This condition is called septic bursitis.
**added note**
My sister says this is why my knee is always hurting, I take 2 aleve in the morning and 2 at night.
it seems to help some,but my knee still hurts.
