Tendinitis and bursitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The patient with tendinitis of the shoulder complains of restricted shoulder movement, especially abduction, and localized pain, which is most severe at night and usually interferes with sleep. The pain extends from the acromion (the shoulder’s highest point) to the deltoid muscle insertion, predominantly in the so-called painful arc — that is, when the patient abducts his arm between 50 and 130 degrees. Fluid accumulation causes swelling. In calcific tendinitis, calcium deposits in the tendon cause proximal weakness and, if calcium erodes into adjacent bursae, acute calcific bursitis.
In bursitis, fluid accumulation in the bursae causes irritation, inflammation, sudden or gradual pain, and limited movement. Other symptoms vary according to the affected site. Subdeltoid bursitis impairs arm abduction, prepatellar bursitis (housemaid’s knee) produces pain when the patient climbs stairs, and hip bursitis makes crossing the legs painful.

Signs and symptoms

Tendinitis and bursitis have characteristic signs and symptoms.
Tendinitis
The patient with tendinitis of the shoulder complains of restricted shoulder movement, especially abduction, and localized pain, which is most severe at night and often interferes with sleep. The pain extends from the acromion (the shoulder’s highest point) to the deltoid muscle insertion, predominately in the so-called painful arc — that is, when the patient abducts his arm between 50 and 130 degrees. Fluid accumulation causes swelling.
In calcific tendinitis, calcium deposits in the tendon cause proximal weakness and, if calcium erodes into adjacent bursae, acute calcific bursitis.
Bursitis
In bursitis, fluid accumulation in the bursae causes irritation, inflammation, sudden or gradual pain, and limited movement. Other symptoms vary according to the affected site. Subdeltoid bursitis impairs arm abduction; prepatellar bursitis (housemaid’s knee) produces pain when the patient climbs stairs; hip bursitis makes crossing the legs painful.
