Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, which are small, jelly-like sacs that are located throughout the body, including around the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and heel. They contain small amounts of fluid, acting as cushions between the bones and soft tissues, thus reducing friction. (OrthoInfo, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
