Bursitis Signs and Symptoms

Extensive swelling. This usually occurs when the Bursitis has reached an advanced stage. When the bursa is extremely inflamed, the swelling will occur not only in the joint but also extend to a considerable extent on each side of the joint as well, reaching far up and down the adjoining limbs. If Bursitis affects the knee, for example, the swelling can extend almost to the ankle. Any area of the body that is experiencing Bursitis will show swelling proportional to the intensity of the condition.
