A member asked:
Can someone that just got over a case of bursitis lift weights, or is it too risky?

Slowly: You can resume weight lifting after bursitis, but start light and gradually increase the weight.

I agree: Start reintroducing activities slowly. Consult a personal trainer to ensure proper form to help prevent reinjury.
