What is the difference between acute bursitis and chronic bursitis?
Acute bursitis is generally the result of the joints doing repetitive movements over a long period of time. Acute bursitis can creep up on your and can last for only a few days to a few weeks. Many times, you will have good days with acute bursitis when it does not cause any pain at all whereas other days it will be extremely painful to move your joints. With chronic bursitis, on the other hand, the pain is unrelenting for days or even months. Most times, the pain will last until you receive some type of treatment for it. Chronic bursitis can also be the result of repetitive movements or as the result of a traumatic injury to a joint.
