Bursa can be called as a fluid-filled sac which protects the muscles, ligaments, tendons or skin which tends to rub against the bone and generate friction. In your entire body, there are around 160 bursae. But the ones present near the heels, knees, elbows, shoulders, and hips get inflamed frequently. Hip bursitis or trochanteric bursitis occurs due to the vigorous activities which can cause pressure on the bones or the bursa.
