The most common symptoms are intense pain at the site, swelling in the joint, the site is\u00a0a bit hot, with redness, and it hurts when exercising or when we do simple movements\u00a0around.\u00a0Dr. Faria explains that there is no mistake: if you have these symptoms, especially\u00a0severe pain in the joints, it is probably bursitis.<\/p>\n
The most common sites for it to appear are the shoulders and hips, but it can frequently\u00a0occur in the elbows and knees.<\/p>\n
You are not old enough to have bursitis, though, but it can happen more frequently in\u00a0older people, due to factors such as weakness and muscle shortening, and also because\u00a0of metabolism.<\/p>\n Once the problem is identified, it is not necessary to treat with surgery or other invasive\u00a0treatment. The patient can use a non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicine.\u00a0In a period of one month to a month and a half, and with a lot of ice, it is possible to\u00a0treat it.<\/p>\n When the case is more severe there may be the need for infiltration, but this is only in\u00a0extreme cases, and under medical supervision.\u00a0Physical therapy is very important, especially in the treatment of chronic and recurring\u00a0bursitis.<\/p>\n It may seem a simple inflammation, but if left untreated, the bursa loses its function,\u00a0which is to cushion the impact of the joints, and the case can progress to osteoarthritis,\u00a0which is the wear of the joints. We’ll talk about this later!<\/p>\n Athletes and physically active people are more likely to have bursitis than people who\u00a0do not practice exercises. The factor is that athletes and physically active individuals are\u00a0always making moves and using their strength with a greater degree of risk.<\/p>\n I decided to write about it because I found that I suffer from bursitis. And I can say that\u00a0it\u2019s the kind of pain that bothers me a lot, especially when I exercise, run, ride my bike,\u00a0or when I sit for a long time in the car. Sometimes it deceives me, and I think it is over,\u00a0but as soon as I begin to exercise it appears again.<\/p>\n Now that we know about it, let\u2019s take care of it so that nothing interferes in our day-to-day physical activity.<\/p>\n We are together, even in bursitis!<\/p>\n Kisses. I hope I have cleared up things about that inflammation with a strange name!<\/p>\n![\"picture1\"](\"https:\/\/www.danichristoffer.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/picture1.jpg\")
