Do you also have fitness habits? Pay attention not only to exercise in a safe environment, but also to have a correct operating posture, otherwise it may cause injury. Su Yuhua, a physical therapist in the Department of Rehabilitation, Nantou Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare, pointed out that apart from infection or self-disease, long-term oppression and external force impact may cause olecranon bursitis, for example, because the elbow tip is used to support the body weight on a hard plane for a long time, resulting in bursitis.
A 25-year-old man suffered from elbow pain during exercise, which was originally caused by bursitis of olecranon process of ulna.
Clinically, a 25-year-old man often goes to the gym recently and often does a stick-like action with his elbow propped on the ground. I recently went to the rehabilitation department because of elbow pain. The doctor found that there was a cyst at the olecranon process of the left elbow, and it was tender and swollen, especially when the elbow was bent and compressed. It was diagnosed as olecranon process bursitis, also known as student elbow. Physiotherapist Su Yuhua said that elbow care, medicine, surgery, nursing and other methods can be used for treatment, and corresponding treatment should be given according to the patient's situation.
You can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and inject steroids if you don't get better.
Physical therapists in Su Yuhua explained that wearing elbow pads to protect wounds can reduce the risk of being affected in daily life or activities, while taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as medicine can help relieve symptoms. However, if there is still no improvement after 3 ~ 6 weeks, it is suggested that the fluid in the synovial bursa be withdrawn and steroid drugs be injected into the synovial bursa. As for physical therapy, it includes rest, ice compress, local pressing, electrotherapy, and finally laser.
Bursitis caused by infection should be detected by taking out synovial fluid.
However, if bursitis is caused by bacterial infection such as insect bites and scratches, it is suggested that bursitis fluid be extracted with a needle to help relieve symptoms and provide further laboratory samples to confirm whether bacteria exist. Physiotherapists in Su Yuhua stressed that only in this way can doctors judge whether to use special antibiotics to treat the infection, but before confirming the type of infection, they may prescribe antibiotics first to avoid the continuous deterioration of the infection.
