UNDERSTANDING BURSITIS LEG PAIN

WHAT IS BURSITIS

Bursitis is inflammation of fluid-filled sacs near joints causing pain and swelling.

COMMON LEG BURSITIS TYPES

Hip, knee, ankle, heel, and ischial bursitis cause pain in different leg areas.

HOW PAIN SPREADS

Inflamed bursae press on nearby nerves, sending pain signals that can travel from the hip or knee down the leg, sometimes reaching the ankle or foot.

MAIN CAUSES

Repetitive movement, injury, autoimmune disease, or infection can trigger bursitis.

CHECK OUT THE BLOG

DIAGNOSIS METHODS

A detailed physical exam, imaging tests like X-rays or MRI, and lab tests for inflammation help doctors identify the exact source of leg pain and bursitis.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy exercises, and in some cases surgery can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve leg function in bursitis patients.

HOME CARE TIPS

Resting the affected leg, applying ice, using compression and elevation, along with supportive braces, can help reduce swelling, relieve pain, and speed up recovery from bursitis.

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

See a doctor if you have severe pain, swelling, redness, numbness, or fever, as these may indicate serious bursitis or infection.
