A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that works as a cushion and gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae (this is the plural of bursa) are located next to the tendons near the large joints, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

Bursitis (bur-sigh-tus) is a condition that makes the area around a joint or bone painful, red and swollen. It can affect both adults and children.

It commonly affects the feet, shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. However, you can get it in or around any joint, and it can stop you being able to move that part of your body properly.

I’ve had surgery on my left elbow bursa. I had hit my elbow so many times in the same spot it developed a knot. Every time time I banged into something it hurt for a week.. I had that knot removed. All better now.
