Foot Bursitis
Bursitis Defined
Bursitis is a
term used to describe the inflammation of a small fluid-filled sac called a Bursa. Bursae sacs (plural) act like
cushions between tendons and bones.
Inflammation is
caused by intense friction of the tendons running over the
bones in specific locations in the feet. These little
lubricating sacs are found in several places throughout the
foot with the most commonly injured one located at the back
and inside of the heel where the Achilles tendon attaches to
the heel bone. Achilles tendon
bursitis is more common and
is often associated with Achilles Tendonitis. |

What causes an Achilles
Tendon Bursitis?
Most often, the
cause of Achilles Tendon Bursitis is from repetitive stress and/or trauma to the bursa.
Common repetitive activities include jogging, running, long
jump, tennis, baseball, basketball, football, and even
dancing. More women than
men get an Achilles Tendon Bursitis, possibly due to wearing
high-heeled shoes that taper in sharply right where the
tendons run over the bursa at the heel. |
How will I know if I have a Foot
Bursitis?
Some people can get bursitis near the big toe, on the ball
of the foot, or between the bones of the feet. You can usually
see and feel a small swelling between the big toe and the
next toe at the head of the metatarsal bone. Another
location is on the bottom of the heel bone. Both locations
can be make it very painful to walk.
As the bursa gets bigger, it gets more painful. Basically, the
pain is from the lack of space available for the sac of
fluid to get larger. The fluid can become harder over
time, if not treated. The pressure can be unbearable
for some. Sometimes a visit to your doctor may be the best
way to diagnose the problem. In some cases, they may perform
an MRI scan to locate the bursa.
Care must be taken to not damage the bursa. If the bursa bursts
or is torn open, the synovial fluid will leak into the
surrounding tissues. Once the synovial fluid is drained from
the sac, the bursa can no longer offer cushioning and
protection for the ends of the bones and tendons. |
