A member asked:

Is itching during bursitis flare up common? i was diagnosed with knee bursitis but have had shoulder and elbow bursitis since, all presented with itching.

Unlikely diagnosis: Itching is not a symptom of bursitis. It is unlikely than bursitis is the underlying issue. Fibromyalgia is more likely.
