The past 3 weeks I've gotten bursitis around my sit bones... Which is inflammation of the bursa. Basically I can't sit in the wheelchair for more than 5-10 minutes without it getting inflamed again and I have to lay back down. It's really frustrating!
Has anyone experienced this before? How did you heal or deal with it?
After a fall in 2012, followed by overuse too soon, I got bursitis in the left hip joint. It still occurs if I rest on that side more than a few minutes. Doctors will often recommend an injection of some steroid to reduce inflammation. I tried that and in my case it did not work. Aside from treatment ideas, which are quite limited, investigate a 'cleansing diet' to promote better overall organ function, then gt a cushion that takes ALL weight off that area. Ride cushion system has some with good success rate.
Finally, make sure there is no infection in the bone. It happens and can be devastating. Just rule it out to be safe.

Physical therapy involving stretching, ultrasound, and icing should help. What did your doc suggest?

He didn't have a solution. I'm seeing a different doctor tomorrow!

I looked back through my messages, Monarch, and was sad to see that I apparently never sent you a private message with the info I'd offered you. So here, belatedly, is one of the alternative therapy articles where I'd seen that gallstones can cause bursitis. "Another fringe benefit of removing that many stones and their precursors from your gallbladder and liver is that any upper back, shoulder (bursitis), or upper arm pain will also disappear. A clogged liver is typically responsible for causing all of those pains." huldarclark.wordpress.com/tag/gallstones/

You never really notice just how much your body works for you until bursitis kicks in. The joints in your body consist of lots of little parts—bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, bursae, cartilage—and they have a tough job to do. Naturally, that’s an area that can easily be injured or overworked. And also an area that seriously throws off your groove when it isn’t working right. Bursitis is just one of those many possible overuse injuries that result from repetitive forceful movements or constant pressure on joints. Bursae are the little sacs of fluid that lie in between your bones, tendons, and skin and, when working properly, they make movement easier and less harmful on the moving parts. Areas that are commonly affected are the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee, but anywhere there’s a bursa, there can be bursitis…so read on for more helpful info!
It's a dirty business, but making sure your little one's bum stays clean and dry is crucial to keeping her comfortable and avoiding diaper rash. Expect to become a diaper-slinging pro, since newborns typically soil ten or more diapers a day. That's more than 300 changes in the first month. (But who's counting ...
