Bursitis and Tendinitis

Marilyn E. Cunningham

Abstract

"Joint pain" may be a chief complaint reported by patients who are suffering from bursitis or tendinitis. Both disorders can develop in various joints throughout the body, but this article emphasizes the heel area since it is a common site for both disorders. Also addressed are the essential diagnostic features, general medical management, and nursing issues relevant to these disorders.
