Beat a Bursal Bother: Bursitis, or inflammation of the bursa, can be a chronic problem unless the triggering event is modified or discontinued. If you find that discomfort worsens with specific movement this may give a clue to the problem. A good exam will often disclose the injured culprit. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatories and even injection therapy can help. Don't let your bursa be a bother!
