A bursa is a sac filled with fluid located near a joint. If a bursa in the knee becomes inflamed and swollen from overuse or constant friction, it can develop into a condition called bursitis.
Bursitis: In our joints there are small fluid filled sacks called bursae. The bursae's job is to assist in the muscle/joints movement by cushioning the joints and bones against friction.
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. Bursas are fluid-filled sacs surrounding joints or muscle tendons; these sacs function to guide and lubricate the muscles and joints.
This may potentially impinge the supraspinatus tendon and the subacromial bursa (a protective sac of fluid cushioning the bone from the tendon).
It is a swelling in the bursa. The bursa is located near a joint which contains fluid and reduces resistance between bones and tendons or ligaments and tendons. Pinching or abrasion is the main cause of swelling in the bursa.
Bursitis is swelling of the bursa, a shock-absorbing sac between the bone and tendons. Sometimes it takes 4 to 6 weeks for the inflammation to go down. And by following your routine, you could be doing the very movements that caused the flare-up.
Injury can affect any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons surrounding the knee joint. Injury can also affect the ligaments, cartilage, menisci (plural for meniscus), and bones forming the joint.
But if you try to advance a training regimen too quickly or rush back from injury, the bursa may become inflamed and the IT band rubs coarsely over the bone, says ...

Joint pain can be caused by injury affecting any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons

Glossary ...
There is even a sack containing a lubricating fluid to help prevent this, called a "bursa" (found whenever a tendon runs over a bone). Inflammation of this caused by on-going shoulder impingement is called "bursitis".
