Treatment of bursitis in the elbow joint

The rhythm of everyday life very strongly affects the physical condition of a person. Activity of every day, physical activity and constant movement, as well as uncomfortable poses or traumas, can cause the male part of the population to develop an extremely unpleasant disease - joint inflammation.

The painful lesion of the joint synovial bag is determined by the medical term Bursitis. The fact is that this very bag is nothing more than a bag-shaped cavity filled with organic synovial fluid. It is located only in those places, which by their nature are predisposed to friction due to physical loads during walking( walking or running).

The main location of these cavities - under the tendons, which are located above the protuberances of bones. An inflamed tendon, accompanied by bursitis, is called a tendon.

How to identify bursitis?

In medical practice, it is considered to be painful palpation of the joint, limited mobility, as well as swelling or swelling along with an increase in body temperature with obvious symptoms of joint inflammation - bursitis.

Origin and causes.

Far-advanced in the study of human health problems, Tibetan medicine unequivocally explains the causes of inflammation: a violation of the balance of the main Bad-kan system, which is responsible for absolutely all metabolic processes and the state of human immunity. It is for certain known that simultaneously there is an imbalance of the Mhris-pa system, which is responsible for the functionality of the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system, in other words, for self-cleaning the body of all dirt and slag.

The direct causes of inflammation are considered intoxication of the body, various allergic reactions or trauma. In connection with the fact that bursitis is, first of all, the accumulation of fluid in the cavity of the bag, which is rich in protein and cells of hematogenous and histogenic nature, anti-inflammatory procedures become the main means of treatment.

It does not necessarily mean that bursitis can develop in the knee joints. Its localization extends from the elbow and shoulder joint to the foot and has a mass of other various manifestations in the joints of the human body, but the wide spread causes damage to the shoulder, elbows and knee joint.

Usually only two types of bursitis are distinguished: acute and chronic, arising or in case of severe trauma, suddenly or untreated in due time and periodically reminiscent of its existence. Although mention of intermediate types is also worth it. It is a subacute bursitis that occurs, mostly, in inflammatory processes and turns into acute bursitis in the absence of treatment. And relapsing. This type of bursitis is a more complex and neglected version of the chronic disease. It does not appear depending on the season, for example, but due to an incorrect lifestyle: heavy workload, uncomfortable posture or a severe bruise at the most inopportune moment.

From the cause of the disease it is possible to distinguish bursitis specific and nonspecific, as well as aseptic and infected.

Recall that bursitis - a discharge of fluid into the cavity of the joint bag( exudate - a liquid rich in protein).Depending on the nature of this fluid, bursitis can be divided into four more types: serous and serous-fibrinous. In these cases, inflammation occurs in the synovial bag itself. Purulent, as well as purulent-hemorrhagic inflammation can occur in neoplasms.

The issue of the process of infection remained unopened.

Infection into the articular cavity can penetrate either through direct contact - through abrasion or internally, through blood, lymph or from internal purulent foci of inflammation. Treatment of this type of infection must be carried out through the upper respiratory tract with the help of anti-inflammatory procedures.

Purulent arthritis, as well as long-term non-healing fistulas can lead to undue treatment and untimely contact with a doctor. And all these diseases can incur complete immobilization of the joint. Therefore, it is worth considering. ..

Inflammation on the elbow joint.

A special risk of inflammation is the elbow joint, in which there are as many as three articular bags: subcutaneous ulnar, interosseous and humerus.

In the case of inflammation of the subcutaneous cavity, a voluminous formation of a semicircular form is observed, which is very painful upon palpation. The launched form of this inflammation passes into a purulent abscess, the skin around the joint becomes red and hot to the touch, and the pain gives pulsating strokes.

The presence of chronic bursitis in the elbow joint is considered, rather, a "professional" disease of jewelers, students or tennis players."The watchmaker's elbow" is a diagnosis among doctors. The increasing pain spreading over the entire arm is a clear sign of inflammation of the joint cavity on the elbow.

How to get rid of the disease?

1. If you experience pain, redness, or even a minimal tumor, consult a doctor immediately. Overcautious once again did not hurt anyone yet. According to the results of an X-ray or a visual examination of a doctor, the usual blood tests for syphilis or other infectious diseases that could cause internal inflammation are prescribed. Nothing surprising, really. Even the simplest caries started could be exactly the starting point, because of which the articular cavity was inflamed. Internal infection, remember?
2. With positive inflammatory tests( syphilis is not required at all), the treating doctor first of all prescribes the treatment of infection, which in turn is an alternative with an average degree of joint damage. Antibiotics in the form of tablets or injections quickly enough to solve the inflammatory process in the body, which increases the speed of treatment of bursitis in the joint.
3. In case of acute infection, when the cavity is overfilled with exudate, only one method of treatment is operative. This procedure is quick and practically painless, and drug support, combined with physiotherapy, will speed up the rehabilitation process.
4. The course of treatment of bursitis in the elbow joint takes quite a long time. Started earlier or simply untreated, it will remind of itself until the cure of the joint will not be 100%.Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs should accumulate gradually in the body, so that a single shock dose does not become not only pernicious for the whole organism, but also ineffective in the treatment of bursitis. The cause of chronic inflammation can be a long duration of an infectious disease or periodic injury to the joint.

And, of course, after treatment and course of therapy, the absolute condition for the patient is absolute rest, absence of all physical exertion, especially in the area of ​​the affected joint and complete cure for any infectious diseases.

Be healthy, watch your joints and stand on the ground firmly!
