BURSITIS TENDİNIT
**Bursitis and Tendonitis: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Methods**
Bursitis and tendonitis are two common disorders of the musculoskeletal system that cause pain and restricted movement, especially around joints. Although both conditions have similar symptoms, they affect different structures. This article will discuss the causes, symptoms and treatment methods of bursitis and tendonitis.
Bursitis is an inflammation of the sacs called bursae, which are located in the joints and act as a cushion between bone, muscle, tendon and skin. The bursae facilitate movement by reducing friction. However, bursae can become inflamed as a result of repetitive movements, overuse or trauma.
Causes of Bursitis:
- Repetitive Movements:** Repetitive movements, especially in areas such as elbows, knees, shoulders and hips, increase the risk of bursitis. - Trauma:** Conditions such as falls or bumps can cause bursa damage. - Infection:** Rarely, the bursa can become infected and septic bursitis can occur. - Rheumatic Diseases:** Chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis increase the risk of bursitis.
##### **Symptoms of Bursitis:** - Pain and tenderness around the joint, - Swelling and redness, - Limitation of movement, - Fever, especially if there is an infection.
#### **What is Tendonitis? Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons that connect muscles to bones. Tendons provide movement by transferring the power of the muscles to the bones. However, tendons can become damaged and inflamed as a result of overuse or injury.
##### **Causes of Tendonitis:** - Overuse:** Tendonitis is especially common in athletes or people who constantly repeat certain movements. - Aging:** As we age, tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury. - Sudden Injuries:** Heavy lifting or incorrect movements can cause tendon damage. - Incorrect posture increases the risk of tendonitis by putting extra strain on the tendons.
##### **Symptoms of Tendonitis:** - Pain and tenderness around the tendon, - Increased pain during movement, - Swelling and slight increase in temperature, - Nodules or thickening on the tendon.
#### **Treatment of Bursitis and Tendonitis** Both conditions can usually be treated conservatively. However, the course of treatment may vary depending on the severity and cause of the condition.
##### **1. Rest and Activity Modification:** - Avoiding activities that cause inflammation, - Rest the affected area, - Avoiding movements that increase pain.
##### **2. Cold and Hot Application:** - Applying cold compresses in case of acute pain and swelling, - Improving blood circulation with hot application in chronic pain.
##### **3. Drug Therapy:** - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce pain and inflammation, - If there is an infection, antibiotics may be needed.
##### **4. Physical Therapy:** - Stretching and strengthening exercises, - Physiotherapy methods such as ultrasound or laser therapy.
##### **5. Injections:** - Corticosteroid injections can be administered in case of severe pain.
##### **6. Surgical Intervention:** - Rarely, surgery may be required in chronic and unresponsive cases.
#### **Prevention Methods** - Correct Technique Usage:** Application of correct techniques in sports or physical activities, - Warm-up and Cool-down:** Warm-up before exercise and cool-down movements after exercise, - Regular Exercise:** Doing exercises to strengthen muscles and tendons, - Avoiding overload:** Avoiding repetitive movements and paying attention to rest periods.
Conclusion
Bursitis and tendonitis are conditions that reduce quality of life and limit mobility. However, complete recovery can be achieved with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment methods. It is especially important for people who perform repetitive movements to take precautions against these disorders. When symptoms such as pain and swelling are noticed, it would be the best approach to consult a healthcare professional without wasting time.
