Millions of workers suffer from a repetitive stress injury every year across the United States. National statistics report that repetitive strain injuries like tendinitis or bursitis are the most common workplace injury every year as well as the most costly injury in terms of workers’ compensation benefits. Tendinitis and bursitis are two common injuries that thousands of workers suffer from annually across the United States, and are caused by repetitive motions at the workplace. Both tendinitis and bursitis can cause severe discomfort, pain, and swelling, potentially making it difficult or impossible to do your job. If you cannot work because of your condition, you need workers’ compensation benefits to help you pay for medical bills and other expenses. Tendinitis versus Bursitis It is important to understand the difference between these two conditions. The most fundamental difference between these two repetitive strain injuries is the location. Tendinitis affects the tendons while bursitis is generally targets the joints. If you have tendinitis, you will generally experience aches, discomfort, tenderness and swelling in the tendons and tissues that connect muscles to your bone. On the other hand, bursitis affects the joints, causing stiffness, pain to the touch, and swelling.
