Bursea. These are thin, lubricated cushions located at points of friction between bone and surrounding soft tissue, such as skin, muscles, ligament, and tendons. It lies between a bone and opposing surface (skin) like a tiny water balloon with only a few drops of fluid in it, wedged between two surfaces.
MT's avoid this area because of its possible tenderness and closeness to the surface. While it is common to have these in your body it is hard to distinguish between aseptic and septic bursitis. A fever, localized skin warmth, and redness, joint pain could be signs of a septic bursitis.
