When you have pain in your lower extremity, whether it’s your hip, knee, ankle or foot, it can make everyday activities more difficult than they should be. There are many different conditions that cause lower extremity pain, but two of the more common causes are bursitis and tendonitis.

Understanding the differences between these two conditions can help you take the right steps to recover and get back to doing more of what you love in life.
