Brody new York times the problems May have cute names like housemaids knee trigger Finger tailors seat and Tennis Elbow but the discomfort and inconvenience they can cause Are anything but cute. At times in fact the pain can be so bad that the sufferer May be unwilling or unable to move the affected joint. Medically the conditions Are known As bursitis or tendinitis. Both involve inflammation of soft tissues surrounding a joint. In the Case of bursitis the tissue affected is the Bursa a Small Sac that normally acts As a Cushion under a muscle or Tendon where it crosses another muscle or a Bone. In tendinitis the inflammation affects a Tendon the fibrous Cord that attaches muscle to Bone. As if trouble with one were not enough both the Bursa and Tendon in a joint can become inflamed simultaneously. Although the conditions Are less Likely to afflict people under the age of 30, those who actively pursue a particular sport or whose jobs involve repetitive movements like continually operating a gear shift can develop bursitis or tendinitis at any age. These conditions Are related to arthritis but there Are two important differences. Arthritis tends to be a permanent condition that affects several or All parts of the body but bursitis and tendinitis usually affect Only one joint and result in Only temporary discomfort especially if the movement that caused them is stopped or modified. Bursitis and tendinitis tend to be associated with occupations or activities that demand frequent repetitions of the same joint movement. In effect they represent joint abuse. Most Tennis players Are painfully aware of the risk to the Elbow of their playing Arm. Many factors contribute to the form of bursitis known As Tennis Elbow but some Peoples joints Are naturally prone to injury and if they play often or Long enough they will develop Tennis Elbow. Sensibly handled bursitis and tendinitis usually disappear within Days or weeks and rarely leave lasting damage. However even with proper treatment they can recur in the same joint or in different joints. Specific treatment is determined by the joint that is affected. However for virtually All forms of bursitis and tendinitis there is a Standard remedy aspirin or a comparable pain reliever with anti inflammatory properties. The medication is usually taken in the largest dose a person can tolerate usually two tablets six times a Day but Check first with your physician since you May have other health problems that make such treatment hazardous. If Over the counter medication is not adequate prescription drugs like a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory or a cortisone Type drug can be used. Sometimes cortisone is injected directly into the inflamed joint. Although the injection can bring dramatic Relief repeated injections can Lead to joint deterioration so they Are Best reserved for severely painful attacks or attacks that require immediate Resolution. At first you would be Wise to rest the painful joint for a few Days for example by not playing Tennis or by putting your Arm in a Sling to immobilize a painful shoulder.

A physical therapist can be a great help with exercises and in the Case of Tennis Elbow a few professional lessons May be needed to improve your stroke and prevent a recurrence.
