Bursitis And Tendonitis, are common disorders that occur around joints and soft tissues, causing pain and loss of function. Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs located around a joint or bone, reducing friction and facilitating movement. Tendons are hardened tissue fibers that hold muscles to bones. Bursitis and tendonitis are often seen in joint areas such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.

Causes of Bursitis and Tendonitis

These disorders usually occur as a result of overuse, constant strain, or direct trauma to the joint:

  • Bursitis: It usually occurs when the bursa swells as a result of friction or repetitive movements.
  • Tendonitis: It is seen with injury and inflammation of the tendons due to overload, aging or heavy sports.

Aging and strenuous physical activity are the most important risk factors for tendonitis. For example:

  • Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, biceps tendonitis in the shoulder,
  • Tennis and golfer's elbow in the elbow,
  • Flexor and extensor tendonitis in the wrist,
  • Patellar tendonitis in the knee,
  • Achilles tendonitis in the ankle is a common condition.

Common Bursitis

Bursitis also occurs in various joint areas:

  • Shoulder: Subacromial, subdeltoid bursitis,
  • Elbow: Olecranon bursitis,
  • Knee: Suprapatellar, prepatellar bursitis,
  • Hip: Trochanteric, ischial bursitis,
  • Ankle: Achilles bursitis.

Bursitis and Tendonitis Treatment

The primary goals of treatment are to reduce pain, control inflammation, and prevent loss of function:

  • Rest and protection of the affected area,
  • Cold application (in acute cases) and hot application (in chronic cases),
  • Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs,
  • Strengthening muscles with exercise programs,
  • In stubborn cases, drainage of the fluid in the bursa or cortisone injection,
  • In severe cases, surgical intervention.

Recommendations to Block Inflammation and Prevent Relapses

  • Make sure to do warm-up and stretching exercises before exercising.
  • Strengthen the muscles around your joints regularly.
  • Don't forget to take breaks from frequently repetitive activities.
  • You can use a knee brace or wrist brace to support the affected joints.
  • Use both hands when lifting heavy objects.
  • Avoid sitting for long periods of time and practice good posture.
  • Start new activities and exercises slowly, increasing the intensity over time.
