Question
I dont know if my shoulder pain is bursitis or rotator cup. Please explain the ways to correctly diagnois.
Answer
Dear D. Gatewood:
Bursae (one is a bursa) are fluid-filled sacs that cushion areas of friction between tendon and bone or skin. Like air-filled bubble wrap, these sacs reduce friction between moving parts of the body, such as in the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee.
The rotator cuff is the name for the tendons that surround the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is actually a group of four muscles and their tendons that wraps around the front, back, and top of the shoulder joint.
Hope this helps.
