Bursitis is a common disease in our life, but even so, there are still many people who don't know much about it, especially in its symptoms.

Symptoms of bursitis on one side of the heel

In the early stage, only a small erythema with mild hardening and tenderness was seen on the posterior and upper part of the heel. Patients often stick adhesive tape here to reduce the pressure of shoes. When the inflamed bursa is enlarged, a painful red mass appears on the Achilles tendon. The main symptoms of inflammation are redness, swelling and pain, which are mainly caused by the reaction of vascular system. The local skin color is normal or the temperature is slightly higher.

At the beginning of the disease, the patient may have no symptoms. With the gradual enlargement of the cyst, there may be knee pain, mechanical knee extension and flexion difficulties. The enlargement of the cyst results in leg edema when venous reflux is blocked. The knee is soft in flexion position. Prepatellar bursitis is directly in front of the patella. There are three bursas, namely subcutaneous bursa, subfascial bursa and subtendinosus bursa, The anterior patellar synovial sac is round and protruding between the skin, patella and patellar ligament. Excessive stimulation can easily lead to edema and effusion of the synovial sac. It is more common in kneeling and squatting workers, such as religious kneeling, carpet sweeper, palm miner, gardener and electric welder. The skin above the cyst is thickened with pain. The fossa cyst is connected with the articular cavity, and is associated with osteoarthritis, meniscus injury, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis It may also be a normal anatomic variation

With the gradual increase of cysts, there may be knee pain, mechanical knee extension and flexion difficulties, and leg edema when the venous return is blocked due to the enlargement of cysts. The fossa edema is hard in the knee extension position, and soft in the knee flexion position. The diagnosis should be distinguished from meniscus cysts, fossa aneurysms, knee tendon sheath cysts, and biceps femoris tendon cysts, Goose toe bursitis is an inflammatory swelling of the huge bursa at the medial and lower part of the knee joint. The bursa is between the semitendinosus, sartorius and gracilis tendons, showing extensive aponeurosis like goose toe, so it is called goose toe bursitis

matters needing attention

Due to the narrow vamp of pointed European shoes, long-term wearing of these shoes, feet are squeezed and rubbed, which is easy to cause female patients with bursitis, hallux valgus deformity and other diseases. Serious patients with joint dislocation need surgical treatment. But the disease won't show up in the near future. For example, kneeling workers have anterior patellar bursitis, and thin elderly women have ischial tuberosity bursitis after sitting for a long time; After the shoe is too tight causes bursitis and so on.
