My daughter has been diagnosed as having bursitis in her hip and we need someway to get rid of it. It's quite painful for her. The doc doesn't have any ideas, but i know there is someone out there that has had it and has it no longer. How did you do it?
thanks, unclenick Hi Uncle Nick
Here are some ideas for the healing process.
Cause
Trauma, misalignment of specific joint or joints above and below the affected area, chronic overuse, acute or chronic infection, calcium deposits secondary to calcium malabsorption, magnesium deficiency, localized trauma, allergies (especially airborne or food), vitamin B12 malabsorption, inflammatory arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, infective organisms (especially Staphylococcus aureus), and, in rare cases, tuberculosis organisms can all contribute to bursitis.
One often undetected cause of bursitis is geopathic stress (unhealthy environmental energy), which should be considered.
--------------------------------------...
Natural Cures
Note: Improvement of bursitis once treatment begins usually begins within two weeks and should not take longer than two months. Splinting and rest are helpful for acute symptoms but much less so for chronic bursitis.
Aromatherapy: The essential oils juniper, chamomile, and cypress can provide relief when applied over the affected area.
Diet: Identify and avoid all food allergies, which can exacerbate bursitis symptoms. Eat foods high in magnesium, such as dark, leafy green and yellow vegetables. Drink filtered water, apple cider vinegar, and honey upon arising, before bed, and throughout the day. Avoid foods from the nightshade family, especially tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant. Also take one tablespoon of cod liver oil one to two hours before each meal.
Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream庐 can be applied over the areas of pain a minimum four times a day.
Herbs: Combine the tinctures of meadow-sweet, horsetail, and willow bark in equal parts and take one teaspoonful three times a day. Also gently rub a mixture of equal parts tincture of lobelia and cramp bark into the affected area. Drink strong chamomile tea, particularly at bedtime, to help relieve pain. Aloe vera gel can also be helpful.
Homeopathy: Belladonna, Arnica, Ruta grav., and Silicea are the most useful homeopathic remedies for bursitis.
Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. The section Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.
Juice Therapy: Drink equal parts carrot, celery, cucumber, and beet juice to help speed healing.
Lifestyle: At the onset of bursitis, rest the affected area for a few days to ensure that symptoms don`t worsen or take longer than necessary to heal.
Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin B12 (administered intra-muscularly by injection), vitamin C and bioflavonoids, calcium, and magnesium can all help quicken healing time. Proteolytic enzymes taken between meals can also help provide relief from bursitis pain.
Topical Treatment: Place mullein hot packs over the affected area. To make mullein packs, boil three to four fresh mullein leaves in water for three minutes, then place over the affected joint. Wrap with a hot moist towel, then a dry towel and leave in place for 20 minutes. Do this three times a day.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of bursitis: Acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology, Bodywork, Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Medicine (Electro-Acuscope, Light Beam Generator), Environmental Medicine, Light Therapy (Cold (soft) laser photo stimulation therapy), Magnetic Field Therapy, Massage Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Osteopathy, Prolotherapy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ultrasound (to break up calcium deposits and adhesions).
Best of health to both of you RICE

http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/prodInter... This is also on my medical records. Just another one of those arthritis's. You know someone who got curred? You sure they were not trying to sell you something? Or just thought they had it or were just in reemission?
There are operations out there but at the time the doctors were pocking and prodding at me they said these operations only have a fifty fifty chance. Not good enough odds for me to be put under.
The shots in the joints one can only have like three of these in there lifetime, and they hurt like a devil!
There is the bee sting thing. Where the bee keeper will put a dozen or so bee's on you to sting you. This does not sound all that entertaining to me.
Heat and inflammatory bring down swelling. If you can get her a hot tub these are life savers. Though at this time I do not have one, when I did it was great! Hot baths work.
Keep you doctor visits. They do not seam to do anything though...
They finally gave me a blood test years ago and found out my arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis.
If she is still under 18 get her involved in disability. This way she will not have to worry so much about money all the time! Working with this is very difficult!!
It is getting cold outside and flares happen now. Get her some good pain meds and keep the house warm.
Good luck! Go to a health food store and purchase Genesistoday GOJI100.I had really bad arthritis and tendonitis and 2 months it was gone and it has stayed gone for 6 months. It is her immune system that is weak and lets the dieseas take over. It really works and is 100% guaranteed. Try it for 3 months. You willl be amazed
