Title: Fight Bursitis with Vitamins and Over the Counter Products

Author: David Cowley

Article:
Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursea, the small enclosed
sac containing the lubricating fluid between muscles, tendons
and movable joints that must slide over each other. There are
approximately 160 of the bursea sacs throughout the human body
and they function to provide a cushion at the point where a
muscle or tendon slides across the bone thus reducing friction
between two moving surfaces making movement painless.

Bursitis is primarily caused by excessive use or abuse of the
structures. The area involved becomes painful, tender, and if it
is close to the skin surface hot and swollen. Continued movement
of the any tendons and muscles over the inflamed bursa causes
the condition to become worse.

We've all heard of tennis elbow. It is one of the most common
stress injuries of the arm and almost one-third of all Americans
who play tennis are affected at come point. Every time the
tennis ball comes in contact with the tennis racket a small
shock wave is transmitted from the racket throughout the entire
arm. If the elbow is fully extended the shock wave will put a
lot of stress on the elbow area causing irritation of the
bursitis sacs.

Repetitive movement such as a janitor bending their elbows
frequently and repetitively when using a vacuum for extended
period of time or someone who plays baseball and throws a ball
too many times can lead to Bursitis. This type of Bursitis is
call olecranon bursitis. It may also be caused by prolonged
pressure on a joint such as someone who rests on their elbows.
Dr. Emanuel Josephson of New York said that pressures on the arm
and shoulder during sleep can lead to bursitis.

Another cause of Bursitis can be a traumatic injury to a joint
such as after an auto mobile accident or after an injury
following a sporting event. The injury usually causes swelling
within the bursa sacs and inflammation develops making movement
painful.

Symptoms of Bursitis can consists of a slight stiffness in a
joint, pain with any movement of the joint, loss of mobility,
swelling and redness of the affected area, and persistent pain,
and tenderness.

The most common complaint occurs in the shoulder joint and in
the elbow but can occur in any joint such as the wrist, ankle,
knee, hips, and fingers. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are
susceptible to developing bursitis.

Common Vitamins and over the counter products can help with
Bursitis such as Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Glucosamine,
Chondroitin Complex, M.S.M and Aspirin.

Vitamin B12 has been proven to provide effective pain relief for
bursitis.

Vitamin C is essential for defending the body against pollution
and infection. It enhances the immune system. Aids in growth and
repair of both bone and tissue by helping the body produce
collagen.

Vitamin E supplies Oxygen to the heart and the other muscles in
the body. Accelerates wound healing and aids in the functioning
of the immune system.

Rutin acts synergistically with Vitamin C to help maintain a
healthy immune system.

Glucosamine Plus provides cartilage nutrition for healthy joints
and is an anit-inflammatory. Promotes flexible and healthy
joints by maintaining the lubrication levels in the joint area.

Chondroitin Complex works together with Glucosamine to block the
action of cartilage-damaging enzymes and promotes the healthy
flow of water and nutrients into cartilage-producing cells.

M.S.M maintains the development of the body's protein by forming
flexible disulfide bonds between certain amino acids and in
maintaining the strength of connective tissue. This allows water
and nutrients to flow freely into cells and allows toxins to
flow freely out of the cells. M.S.M increases athletic stamina
and helps eliminate muscle soreness. M.S.M is a natural
supplement that is getting a lot of attention due to its role in
tissue healing at the cellular level. It is a natural organic
sulfur that comes from rain fall and is found naturally in the
human body.

Aspirin and Ibuprofen are considered anti-inflammatory
medications and may be helpful in the treatment of Bursitis.
They will also help with the pain associated with the
inflammation of the bursitis sacs.

The pressure can be reduces while sleeping by using a mattress
that is composed of a memory foam and/or latex foam. These types
of mattress conform to the bumps and curves of he human body and
can thereby reduce the pressure spot by evenly distributing the
bodies' weight more evenly.

Always consult your doctor before using this information.
