Other specified bursopathies, shoulder
Bursitis is a condition that occurs when bursae, small sacs filled with fluid, become inflamed. The bursae are located throughout the body, including the shoulder. When the bursae in the shoulder become inflamed, it is known as shoulder bursitis. However, there are also other types of bursitis that can affect the shoulder, including other specified bursopathies.
Other specified bursopathies refer to a group of conditions that affect the bursae in the shoulder but do not fit into the category of shoulder bursitis. These conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, trauma, or infection.
- Subacromial bursitis: This condition occurs when the bursa located between the rotator cuff and the acromion bone becomes inflamed. It is often caused by repetitive overhead movements, such as throwing a ball or lifting weights.
- Scapulothoracic bursitis: This condition occurs when the bursa located between the scapula and the chest wall becomes inflamed. It is often caused by poor posture or repetitive movements, such as reaching forward for long periods of time.
- Suprascapular bursitis: This condition occurs when the bursa located above the supraspinatus tendon becomes inflamed. It is often caused by repetitive overhead movements, such as throwing a ball or lifting weights.
Symptoms of other specified bursopathies in the shoulder can include pain, swelling, and stiffness. Treatment options may include rest, ice, physical therapy, or medication. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the inflamed bursa.
To prevent other specified bursopathies in the shoulder, it is important to avoid repetitive movements and maintain good posture. It is also important to warm up properly before engaging in any physical activity and to use proper technique when lifting weights or performing other exercises.
If you are experiencing symptoms of other specified bursopathies in the shoulder, it is important to seek medical attention. Your doctor can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
