3.Acute Bursitis
This means it comes on quickly, over a period of hours or days. It could happen if you injure a joint when you fall. It often hurts to move or even touch the inflamed joint, and the skin over the area may swell and redden. Infection or gout can cause extra painful flare-ups that make your skin warm to the touch. Other inflammatory conditions like arthritis also could cause it.
4.Chronic Bursitis
This develops over time, often when you repeat the same motion. Injuries or acute bursitis that happen over and over in the same spot might lead to the “chronic” version. Whatever the cause, you’re more likely to further inflame bursae that are already damaged, especially if you suddenly increase the amount, weight, or intensity of physical work. A flare-up can last for months and might limit movement and weaken muscles.
