Understanding of Bursitis
Bursitis: I thought that only occurred in the shoulder, but can also occur in the knee, elbow or where a joint. In these joints there is a bag of fluid between the tendon and skin and bone. The troublesome bursitis occurs when the sac is inflamed by excessive use of this joint, a stroke, infection or a problem such as gout. Some people suffer for a while and then disappears, others suffer chronically. I met an individual who repeatedly and had suffered a terrible car accident which left with multiple fractures. After recovering from the accident suffered from bursitis anymore … that I have not been able to explain.
How is it Treated
In most cases, bursitis can be treated at home.
The key to successful treatment lies, as with many other injuries, at rest. Aside from keeping at rest the joint or body part, for you to submit bursitis, you can try the following:
- The power of ice. Ice should be applied in part affected by the bursitis while the swollen area is warm to the touch. Ice can be applied over the affected area several times a day for 20 minutes at most. Ice can also help reduce inflammation that may accompany bursitis.
- The power of heat. Applying heat to the joint when it is no longer hot to the touch can relieve pain. As with the ice, do not apply heat to the affected area for over 20 consecutive minutes.
- Arriba! Raising a sore joint for any reason can help reduce inflammation. This also applies to the bursitis. If possible, elevate the affected joint that is above heart level.
- Under pressure. Avoid subjecting the affected joint to strong pressure, because that only aggravate bursitis rather than help heal it.
And some little pills … Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen may also help.
