Bursitis

Bursitis treatment

       Treatments include anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, applications of ice and reduction of movements in the affected area. More severe cases may undergo surgery. Avoid self-medication is crucial, since the analgesics may be contraindicated for pregnant women and people with a history of ulcer. Chest pressure and pain that is reflected by the arms and back may indicate heart trouble and not bursitis. In this case, you need to seek medical assistance quickly.

Bursitis hip

       Bursitis hip is a common problem that causes pain in the lateral thigh, affecting a large number of people with hip pain. The bursa is a sac that contains fluid, and facilitates the movement between two surfaces. The bursa is located between the bony prominence of the greater trochanter and a strong tendon that passes over the bone.

       The causes of bursitis may be associated with different types of patients:

• Athletes: Especially for runners or sports activities such as soccer, basketball.
• Trauma: local trauma on the side of the thigh, specifically on the trochanteric bursa

Elbow bursitis

       In the back of the elbow, the triceps muscle attaches to the bone to hold the extension. Separating this set of skin, there is a small pouch (bursa) that produces some liquid and serves to prevent friction during movement of flexion-extension. In many situations, it can start producing more fluid, swelling, and can become hot, red and cause pain. The most common causes of elbow bursitis:

• Trauma: goalkeeper hitting his elbow on the floor to make a defense
• Drop: When we eat protein, it is broken down into amino acids and some cross crystals. In some individuals these crystals may be deposited in any joint or in the "bursa" causing an inflammation reaction.
• Infection: It can happen after a simple scratch on the back of the elbow when some micro-organisms penetrate the skin barrier and cause infection of the elbow, with the presence of pus within the bursa.

        Most cases improve with medication, ice packs, rest and avoid direct contact with the affected area.

Bursitis exercises

       To continue moving the joint is important, so certain bursitis exercises are a necessary part of treatment. Although most of these bursitis exercises should be recommended by a doctor, there are some you can do yourself. You should make gentle movements with the hands. An exercise you can do to restore the ability of the movements of your shoulder is doing the spider move on the wall. But should copy a lazy spider. Anything other than slow and gradual movement can do more harm than help.

Bursitis causes

        Bursitis causes include the frequent of the joint or diseases such as injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and infections, but may have no known cause. Bursitis causes pain when moving or touching the inflamed joint and tends to limit movement, but the specific symptoms depend on the location of the inflamed bursa. These are located on the elbows, hips, pelvis, knees, toes and heels.
