There are many different forms of Arthritis ans some of these like Bursitis are caused by inflammation. However that is where the similarity ends Arthritis alway has a relationship cartilage damage to the joints of the body and at times other connective tissues in the body. While bursitis ( impingement syndrome)is the result of inflammation that results in tendons squeezing and restricting the movement of muscles. this condition can take place in many parts of the body.
