Stiffness
Stiffness in joints occurs typically due to a lifetime of use. That is why this medical condition is found in people as they age. However, asides age factor, bursitis can also be the cause of stiffness in the joint. Stiffness can have a significant impact on a person’s mobility. Such a person will find it difficult to put weight on the joint or even move it because the muscles will feel very tight, making movement impossible. This symptom will always occur as a result of inflammation in any part of the body that has sensory nerve endings close by. [4]
