Not totally sure on the cause. The bursitis is in my heel. Main guesses are too much time sat down/sat in bed with baby which is causing tightness, but I’ve also been cycling more recently.
What’s weird tho, is that it’s come on after a handful of days off. And a generally ramping down of mileage over a couple of weeks. But the pain is enough to definitely be concerning.@Brommers eek, hopefully I can find a solution.

Whats the cause of your bursitis? I noticed recently that one of my favourite old pairs of jeans was aggravating my ITB and patellar tendon by somehow constricting my glute and tensor fascia latae, so may be worth having a wider think of possible causes.
My hand and knee tendinitis and bursitis usually flare up from overuse and insufficient rest. Ibuprofen, active rest, eventually massage and light stretching usually sort it out in a handful of days. I’ve had one treatment with corticosteroids on a knee tendon and it was never a problem again.
