What is Shoulder Bursitis?

The human body has dozens of small fluid-filled structures called bursa, which are in close contact with muscles ligaments and tendons. Their primary function is to aid in smooth natural movements. A bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa resulting from overuse of the surrounding muscles, tendons or ligaments. This condition is usually very painful and can restrict normal joint function.

Symptoms of Shoulder Bursitis?
