The joints are a very important part of the musculoskeletal system of the human body, so nature took care of its additional protection against injuries and infection, placing them in Bursa-the articular bag. If inflammation begins in it, then it is called Bursite - this is a very painful ailment, which is quite difficult to fight. And with the appearance of an inflammatory process, the disease is already qualified as a tenshur to the tendons adjacent to the affected joint.
Why does Bursit appear?
As we have already found out, Bursit is an inflammation of the synovial bag. And a number of reasons can lead to such sad consequences, including:
- mechanical effect
- increased loads
- congenital structural features
- rheumatoid polyarthritis and arthritis
- gout
- complications after tuberculosis, gonorrhea
Varieties of Bursite
By location:
- surface - is located on the interval between the bone and the skin (for example, the purple - in the knees), oval neoplasms are felt under the surface of the skin, the palpation of which is accompanied by pain, with an increase in skin temperature in these areas.
- deep - between the rubbing components of the joints and muscles (for example, in the knee joint after an injury), which are quite difficult to diagnose. Here you can not do without x -rays, which can detect the calcification of the bag, “spur” in the heel and the like.
By the nature of the course of the disease: acute and chronic.
In general, for the exact identification of the disease, diagnostics should be differential. Sometimes, in addition to an x \u200b\u200b-ray, a puncture of the cyst cavity, contrast radiography or ultrasound examination may be required. The decision on diagnostic methods is made by the attending physician.
The main methods of treating Bursite in official medicine
The first step to the treatment of Burcite - fixed joint (for example, with the help of a lobby or tire). If the inflammation is serious, then conservative (drug) therapy is prescribed, and if the process has gone too far (became chronic or accompanied by purulent infection), then surgery may be required.
It determines the treatment method, as well as diagnostics, a surgeon or traumatologist, orthopedist. As a rule, patients are prescribed analgesics, in particularly painful cases - novocaine blockade. Also, antibacterial agents or hormones are introduced into Bursa.
Physiotherapeutic procedures may be required-electric and thermal, radon and hydrogen sulfide baths, local application of ointments from inflammation (such as “voltaren”, “Diklak”, “diplower” and the like) and dimexide compresses together with novocaine.
Folk remedies for combating Bursite
People have long been suffering from Bursite, so many traditions of traditional medicine from joint pain have survived to this day. You need to use them very carefully and after preliminary consultation with a doctor, since the neglected purulent inflammation of the Bource cannot be cured by any homeopathic agents.
We bring to your attention several recipes that are also tested by our grandmothers:
- Thinly cut the raw potato and put on the sore joint, wrapping it with a cloth and insulation. Leave this compress at night, and then repeat, using alternately beets and cabbage.
- Take one teaspoon of propolis, mix with 70 g of vodka and insist for seven days without access to sunlight. Then use the resulting mixture as lotions.
- Dilute Vishnevsky ointment with a small amount of vodka and apply on a damaged joint in the form of a compress for 24 hours. In a couple of days, repeat the procedure.
In addition, after removing acute inflammation, physiotherapy exercises (with a gradual increase in pace) and lightweight massage helps a lot.
In order for the joints to quickly restore after Bursite, the patient’s nutrition should be replete with vitamins, proteins and nutrients. It is necessary to limit the use of fried dishes, spices, conservation, alcohol.
