Bursitis - acute or chronic inflammation of the bursa. They facilitate the movement of tendons over marsh protuberances. Bursa occurs in many parts of the body where the tendons slide over the bones. The most common form of bursitis is found in the shoulder and is called subacromial bursitis, supraspinate tendinitis, and bidenital tendinitis. In addition to the shoulder, there are other areas that are switching to problems with bursa. These are usually joint areas that receive a large amount of active use, such as the elbow, knee, and hip. When the elbow is struck, it is called olekranon bursitis, commonly known as the miner's elbow. When a knee is touched, it is called a pre-or suprapatella-bursitis or maid bunk.
The pain in the gluteal region and upper thigh caused by the bursa is usually caused by the oropetinal (iliopsoas), ischial, more commonly known as tailor’s or weaver’s underwear. Other areas are also affected, such as the Achilles tendon and the big toes. The etiology (causes) of bursitis is unknown. However, it is generally considered to be of inflammatory origin, such as trauma caused by excessive use, such as excessive exercise, repetitive movements, such as occupational or inflammation caused by arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or gout. In acute bursitis, severe pain and usually inflammation occurs. There is limited movement and movement of the joint causes a sharp increase in pain. If episodes of acute bursitis occur, the condition may become chronic. When this happens, the bursa becomes thickened, and adhesives can easily develop. At this stage there will be a limited range of motion. Muscles can become atrophied and weakened. If the condition persists for a period of time, as in the case of the shoulder, the person can sustain the frozen shoulder due to the limited range of motion. When preventing shoulder pain from a chronic disease caused by bursitis, rotator cuff injuries, tendinitis, or other causes, RIMS should be used by the individual. This means the following:
R: Rest is key for the first 24-48 hours. Notice carefully, do not keep your hand in the sling. When walking, you can hook your thumb in a shirt or belt so that your hand does not hang down and does not press down on the shoulder joint.
I: Ice applications to reduce infection and edema 3-4 times a day for the next 24-48 hours.
M: Mobility. Increase the soft movement of the damaged joint so that it does not freeze.
S: Strengthen. Exercise (slowly at first) to strengthen the muscles and ligaments to restore the normal range of motion.
When the bursitis of the elbow joint, the bursa at the tip of the elbow is filled with fluid, and it acts as a protrusion the size of a golf ball. Very often, pain occurs at the site, especially when pressure is applied to it, increasing irritation, and sometimes some inflammation and redness may be present. Quite often, the fluid will be absorbed, but if this does not happen, your health care provider may drain the fluid. The use of cold compresses may be useful. There are other causes of pain in the elbow, and tennis elbow is the most common. This affects the outer tip of the elbow (lateral epiconditis) and the outer part of the upper forearm. The treatment here is best applied "RIS". It is easy to remember and apply as follows:
R: Rest for the affected area is a must. Here, too, the hand should not remain dangling when walking, but can be supported, as indicated above, or put the other hand under the elbow to support the painful hand.
I: Treat the affected area 3-4 times a day for the next 24-48 hours.
C: Use a compression bandage around the shoulder, just below the elbow.
E: Raise and support your hand by placing a pillow under it, sitting or lying down.
Injuries to the hip joint can cause many problems. One of these problems is bursitis. It is always important that your healthcare provider checks when you have pain of any kind. Getting a definitive diagnosis may dictate the type of treatment you need. If the problem turns out to be bursitis, the treatment will basically be similar to the above conditions. When bursitis of the hip joint, it may be wise to use the reed for a short period of time to maintain pressure from the area. Use RIMS and RICE as above. Knee bursitis is also quite common, and here, too, the treatment will be simulated, as indicated above, using a combination of RIMS and RICE. In some cases, using a cane can be a useful addition, and compression in the form of a bandage or knee brace may be required. In addition to the methods described above, the use of a good analgesic gel can be very useful. A gel like BIOFREEZE® is an excellent analgesic gel for use. This will help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the painful area. Knowing your condition and treating it quickly and correctly can reduce your pain and time of immobility.
