Overview
The symptoms of bursitis vary based on the location of the inflammation. Focal swelling, pain, and redness are symptoms common to all forms of bursitis. Limbing, upper or lower extremity weakness, and fever are possible depending on the type of bursitis. Obtaining a complete history is helpful in determining whether the bursitis is associated with any specific hobbies or work-related activities.[1][2][3]
History and symptoms
It is critical to collect a detailed and thorough history from the patient. Obtaining a complete history will be helpful in determining whether the bursitis is associated with any specific activities.
History
Specific areas to focus on when obtaining a history from the patient include:[1]
- History of repetitive movement
- History of inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis (RF), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE))
- History of trauma or microtrauma

Symptoms
The symptoms of bursitis differ based on the anatomic location. Localized pain with movement and decreased range of motion (ROM) are symptoms common to all forms of bursitis. Localized redness or warmth are variable and seen in superficial bursitis. Septic bursitis is associated with fever, in addition to other symptoms.
