Bursitis is an inflammatory disease that occurs in an acute form. It occurs due to the occurrence of inflammation in the joint around the joint. The periarticular bag is filled with liquid and looks like a bag. These cavities are located in places most prone to rubbing, and are designed to soften it. Such areas are under the tendons and over the protuberances of the bones. With bursitis, the disease that accompanies it is very often associated with - tendobursitis. In this disease, the tendon itself becomes inflamed. The most susceptible to the disease is the male part of the population. Bursitis occurs, as a rule, under the influence of previously received injuries of varying severity in the period of life up to 40 years.
Bursitis: treatment by various methods.
In the treatment of bursitis, the main task is to prevent infection in the periarticular bag. Otherwise, the disease can develop into a chronic one. As a rule, the treatment of the disease begins with a study of the liquid contained in these bags, and an obligatory analysis is carried out for the presence of the following pathogenic bacteria in the liquid: spirochaetes, brucellae and gonococci. Before starting treatment, be sure to consult a doctor to confirm an accurate diagnosis.
The disease is accompanied by severe pain at the site of inflammation. And the patient experiences pain not only with pressure, but also with light touch to the sore spot. Often there is redness of the skin over the focus of inflammation. If you do not start treatment on time, but still suffer a painful injury or strain, you can get chronic bursitis, which can lead to changes in the anatomy of the joint, and lead to purulent arthritis.
There are some effective ways to treat a disease that can help for good and without consequences get rid of it and forget about the troubles suffered during illness. The most important condition in the treatment of bursitis is the immobility of the inflamed joint. It is necessary to exclude movement, especially sharp and with load. We recommend immobility even at an early stage of this disease. Sore place must be tightened with a tight fixing bandage. It is necessary to weaken it periodically for the influx of blood. Do not forget to change the bandage. It is also recommended to apply something warm to the sore spot. You can impose a tire. The problem is that the painful place should not be disturbed by any movements.
Radiation therapy.
Recently, the method of treatment with radiotherapy has been increasingly used. When this method is used, microbes and inflammatory processes are destroyed, and normalization of all processes disturbed in the course of the disease occurs. X-ray therapy with various doses of radiation is used. It depends on the duration of the disease, its complexity and neglect. The course takes about three weeks. The application of this method can completely relieve the patient of the consequences and discomfort after the illness. However, this method is perceived by many with caution in connection with the possible consequences of such treatment and the effect on the body.
Surgical intervention.
Surgery is often used. When applying this method, pierce the site of inflammation and remove from there accumulated fluid called exudate. Then, the cavities of the periarticular bag are treated with a solution prepared using antibacterial drugs. Such methods help get rid of bursitis forever. The most important condition in the treatment of bursitis is the complete sterility of dressings and tools. To avoid consequences and complications of the course of the disease, a solution with novocaine and hydrocortisone is injected into the cavity of the periarticular bag.
