General Description
A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac, situated where tendons or
muscles
cross over bones, joints or other muscles. It acts as a
cushion at these
pressure points and reduces friction. When the bursa becomes
inflamed
it is called bursitis. The most common form of bursitis is in
the shoulder,
but it can also be in the elbow or knee area.
Traditional treatment is usually rest and ice packs to
help relieve
the pain, but an effective, although not too well known
treatment, B12
intramuscular injections (not in the bursa, however), may be
more effective.
The protocol calls for 1,000 mcg daily for 7-10 days, then
three times
a week for two or three weeks, depending on progress. This
regimen should
give you relief in a few days. For best results, keep to the
frequency
of the protocol.
Causes
Bursitis is often caused by repetitive action or constant positioning
of the body, such as kneeling or putting one's elbow on a
desk.
Remedies
Folk
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) DMSO will penetrate the skin
quickly
and relieve pain and inflammation.
