Untreated Bursitis?

What happens when no treatment is applied to bursitis problem in hip persisting over a year due to lack of veterans health care

Hi Ozniwell

Here are some ideas to heal the issue.

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.

*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.

Best of health to you

you should go to the doctor he would be able to tell you for sure.

I actually had bursitis and I was 20 years old at the time. Believe it or not I got mine in my butt/hip area because of a shot for something else. It left a nasty indentation in my cheek for almost a year. My doc just gave me some pain meds when it felt bad. But the collapsed mucles in my buttocks did fill out again and I do not feel the pain, only rarely once in a blue moon.

There is no cure unfortunately.So technically I still have it. Nothing will happen to you, you'll just have to keep on taking tyenol unless it gets to bad to move.Go to the doc then.

bursitis is and infection of the bursa sack that is around you joints elbow, hip knee etc. this sack is what lubricates the joint so when is infected it will hurt like hell and if left unattended the sack drys out and that not good
