Chronic bursitis can go away and come back again. Acute bursitis can become chronic if it comes back or if a hip injury occurs. Over time, the bursa may become thick, which can make swelling worse. This can lead to limited movement and weakened muscles (called atrophy) in the area.
How do I stop bursitis from coming back?
How to stop bursitis coming back
- maintain a healthy weight – being overweight puts more pressure on your joints.
- clean any cuts on elbows and knees to prevent infections.
- warm up properly before exercising and playing sport.
- use padding when putting a lot of pressure on joints (for example, when kneeling)
What causes bursitis to reoccur?
The most common causes of bursitis are repetitive motions or positions that put pressure on the bursae around a joint. Examples include: Throwing a baseball or lifting something over your head repeatedly.
