Tendonitis and bursitis are two of the most common causes of joint pain and stiffness.

What Are Tendonitis and Bursitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon—the thick, fibrous cords that connect muscle to bone. It often results from repetitive motion or overuse, especially in areas like the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle.
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints. Bursitis commonly affects the hips, shoulders, knees, and elbows.
Although they are different conditions, tendonitis and bursitis often occur together or cause similar symptoms.
Common Symptoms
Causes and Risk Factors
You may be suffering from tendonitis or bursitis if you experience:
Localized pain that worsens with movement or pressure
Swelling, warmth, or redness around the joint
Joint stiffness or reduced range of motion
Pain that worsens after repetitive activity or rest
Early intervention can prevent these conditions from becoming chronic.
Tendonitis and bursitis are typically caused by:
Repetitive motions (sports, work-related activities, hobbies)
Poor posture or biomechanics
Sudden increase in physical activity
Trauma or direct pressure to a joint
Age-related wear and tear
Certain occupations and sports, like painting, tennis, running, and construction, carry a higher risk.
