Joint or Bursa pain refers to pain or discomfort due to inflammation or soreness originating from either a joint (shoulder, knee, hip, etc) and/or a bursa (subacromial bursitis, pes anserine bursitis, trochanteric bursitis, etc).
Shoulder pain – pain can be caused by rotator cuff tendinopathy, bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, osteoarthritis, or impingement syndrome.
Knee pain – pain can be caused by osteoarthritis, meniscal tear, ligament injury, bursitis, or patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Hip pain – pain can be caused by osteoarthritis, labral tear, bursitis, or referred pain from the lumbar spine.
Shoulder pain – Localized shoulder pain with limited range of motion, especially overhead; may radiate to upper arm.
Knee pain – Pain with walking, bending, or weight-bearing; may be associated with swelling or instability.
Hip pain – Groin or lateral hip pain, often worsened by walking, standing, or rotating the leg.
