What Is Bursitis?
Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa. The bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid, located between tissues such as bone, muscle, tendons, and skin, that decreases rubbing, friction, and irritation.
What Causes Bursitis?
Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the area, or from a sudden, more serious injury. Age also plays a role. As tendons age they are able to tolerate stress less, are less elastic, and are easier to tear.
Overuse or injury to the joint at work or play can also increase a person's risk of bursitis. Knee, hip and elbow forms of bursitis can be brought on by activities such as include gardening, raking, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing, and pitching. Incorrect posture at work or home and poor stretching or conditioning before exercise can also lead to bursitis.
An abnormal or poorly placed bone or joint (such as length differences in your legs or arthritis in a joint) can put added stress on a bursa sac, causing bursitis. Stress or inflammation from other conditions, such as arthritis, gout, or unusual medication reactions may also increase a person's risk. In addition, an infection can occasionally lead to inflammation of a bursa.
What Parts of the Body can be affected by Bursitis?
· Knee
· Shoulder
· Hip (trochanteric bursitis)
· Achilles tendon
What Are the Symptoms of Bursitis
The most common symptom of bursitis is pain. The pain may build up gradually or be sudden and severe, especially if calcium deposits are present. Loss of motion in the shoulder -- called "adhesive capsulitis" or frozen shoulder -- can also be a sign of bursitis. Knee and hip pain can hinder everyday activities like walking and running.
How Can I Prevent Bursitis?
Bursitis can be prevented with a gradual buildup in activities, with limited force and limited repetitions. Stop what you are doing if unusual pain occurs. Try again later and if pain recurs, do not continue the activity that day. Applying Penetran+Plus to the affected area has also been found to be a helpful treatment of bursitis of the hip (trochanteric bursitis).
How Is Bursitis Treated?
Bursitis can be treated in a number of ways, including:
· Avoiding activities that aggravate the problem.
· Resting the injured area.
· Icing the area the day of the injury.
·Taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory Penetran+Plus
