Bursitis relief comes in many forms and with many opinions from doctors and patients alike. A definite way of reducing the onset and effects of this disease is to not smoke. Smoking causes inflammation, which hinders healing. Infection of the fluid in the joint is another reason for the onset of this disease. A simple, but slightly painful test of the fluid can check for any infection. If an infection is present then antibiotics will be prescribed as well as suggestions for a healthy lifestyle and specific exercises to try. With a wide variety of options including surgery a person will find what best suits their life. Careful evaluation of all choices will lead a person to what best suits their lifestyle as well as body needs.

Natural healing is possible through a variety of vitamins and herbs. Calcium and B12 offer bursitis relief by decreasing inflammation in the infected areas. Supplements are found at the health food store and dietary supplements are found at the local grocery store. Milk is high in calcium as is any dairy product including yogurt and cheese. Introducing these, even in small amounts bring success to a long list of bursitis remedies. Supplementing apple cider vinegar to the use of white vinegar as well as introducing honey as a replacement sweetener aids in inflammation reduction and proper joint function. Tea made with chamomile, hops, or skullcap is found as effective bursitis remedies. Likewise, rubbing aloe vera on the infected area will not only bring comfort, but heal as well; Applying ice offers the same effects. Bathing with a few drops of lavender oil offers relaxation as well as healing. Repetitive use of lavender in commercial products as well as organic remedies has shown to have adverse effects on boys particularly in regards to their reproductive organs. Moderation in everything is key to a healthy life.

Exercising regularly provides prevention as well as treatment. Daily stretches done only to the extreme that the body can handle offers long lasting bursitis remedies. Keep the body in movement for as long as possible. Some people tend to sit and wait for the pain to go away; this is very bad. Not only is this course of action disabling the person more, but opening the doors for depression and hopelessness. In order for the body to heal everything needs to be ready to work. Without the mental capacity to heal, the body has no motivation or reinforcing energy to motivating lasting results. Concentrate on exercises that stretch and strengthen the troubled areas as well as keep the healthy areas of the body in good shape. Take some time to review the muscle groups of the body to ensure the exercise plan used requires work from all areas. Consult a physician or personal trainer for further information on specific techniques and equipment. Proper warm up is crucial to lasting success. Improper warm up actually worsens the effects of the disease as well as hinders and healing.

Healthy eating, as mentioned above, helps tremendously without any side effects. Other bursitis remedies include using a compress made of mullein tea. This treatment should be applied for 20 minutes every hour. Likewise rubbing warm olive oil on the infected area once a day can aid in bursitis relief in addition to lessening the probability that the infection will reoccur. Applying ice also offers a successful bursitis relief option. More extreme and harder to find bursitis remedies include drinking seawater found at the health food store. Done on a daily basis, this treatment offers a proven cure. However, do not drink seawater if blood pressure is a problem. Lastly, boiling horseradish root and creating a compress for the infected area can offer bursitis relief. Any natural treatment should be cross referenced with a doctor to determine if existing medications or unique health conditions would make any of these dangerous to the body. Other than food allergies, changing a persons diet will only help in healing, plus provide a firm foundation for continued healthy living which results in less instance of disease. "What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach [is] great like the sea: who can heal thee?" (Lamentations 2:13)

Common instances of this disease occur on the heel, ball of the foot, or the big toe joint. Likewise, it is possible to get pain in the elbows, wrists, and shoulders. Pain, inflammation and swelling are all signs of this disease and should be taken seriously to prevent further and longer lasting damage to the body. Permeated heat from the infected area as well as restricted range of motion both indicate a problem. If a person feels weak in a certain area of the body or loses motion completely with more pain after long times of immobility, an appointment with a doctor should be made. Make sure shoes fit correctly if bursitis is a problem in the foot. Other ways to relieve pain due to this disease include rest and discontinuing the activity that puts stress on the body causing constant pain. If the problem is at work, talk with the boss or supervisor to brainstorm ways to alter the environment. Some things in life cannot change immediately or at all, but with small alterations, a feasible compromise should be met.

“ Recently one of my parts wrote my therapist (T) a letter asking for help, because they have not been able to directly speak in the sessions so far but wanted to express that they were there. Another part: an angry, scared part (I haven’t decided what pseudonym to give them on my blog yet) then tried to destroy the letter. It was salvaged by yet  another of my parts, a more mature, observant part (who we call ‘the observer’), who then wrote a cover letter to T, explaining a few things about the whole ‘parts’ situation and issues we are encountering in trying to trust T to help us.

 We were very nervous about how all of this would go down with T. We didn’t know if perhaps we would be rebuked for doing this. Growing up in an environment where any seemingly small or insignificant thing I did or didn’t do could have been the wrong thing and have scary consequences, makes me always worry I am doing something totally out of order without realising. There is also the fear of being accused of making this all up. And then there’s the fear of the person just not realising how significant a thing it was for me to give them the letter. But we got a good reaction. T said it was very courageous of us to give it to them.

In the letter, the more mature part asked T to ask us about the pictures.

So T asked me about the pictures at the next session (which I had been bringing along every week for months but hadn’t had confidence to mention in case T didn’t want to see them: that would be a huge blow for someone so fragile) and I showed them to her.

The pictures were originally supposed to be a project which I decided to work on to try to get to know my parts, after first becoming aware of even having parts. I set myself a task of trying to express on paper, each alter that I am aware of. I allowed one page per alter and tried to use pictures/drawings/colours/shapes/words/anything else to visually represent that person.

The child parts however LOVED this activity and I found them kind of taking over with it. The ‘one page per alter’ thing didn’t really work out as I found ‘little C’ making several pages of pictures, ranging from cut outs of magazine pictures to Christmas collages!

Eventually the child parts worked on making two projects: one of ‘likes’ and the other of ‘dislikes’ or as they named it: ‘Things I don’t like and things that make me feel bad’. Some of the ‘dislike’ pictures are hard for me to look at. Some of the pictures, another child part had scribbled out. Some, although not scribbled out, a child part decided needed to be sealed off or covered for safety, so they stuck pieces of card over them to make flaps or envelopes to hide the pictures in. This felt safer somehow.

So I sat there opposite T, while she looked under all the flaps and opened the envelope full of tiny pictures on bits of torn paper. She was talking through what she was seeing. Some of the pictures had captions too and she was reading them. I felt my angry child part getting very upset, wanting to scream at her to stop talking and stop looking at the pictures. Another part was feeling some other unpleasant emotions and my body was physically reacting.

Me, the shell of everyone, sat there in silence, wishing I could disappear and wishing she would stop talking through what she was looking at. I think I was drifting in and out of the room as well. I could hear her in the background but I was trying not to: “I don’t like buttons.... maggots.... being asked to do things I don’t want to do.... this looks like a bathroom...” but I wasn’t really there anymore. I heard her say: “This tells a story” and something about it giving a lot of “information”.

I woke in the middle of the night with everything buzzing round in my head. There was so much talking going on (there’s always talking going on but sometimes it gets louder and more disturbing or argumentative or tiresome). Someone was REALLY anxious. They remembered the words “tells a story” and “information” and they were shouting at me: “What did you tell her?! What have you done?! What information?! What was on the pictures?!”  

I don’t think they were really looking for answers though on reflection. I think they were just panicking. We have lived our lives with the motto of: trust no one because everyone will let you down or hurt you. We learnt that lesson at a young age after crying out for help to adults who didn’t want to see what was going on so ignored the cries and looked the other way.

Sometimes if there’s too much going on in my head, I get a pen and paper and write down the narrative as it goes on. This helps people to get their say; it helps me to know what is going on, but it can be a really bad thing too. Sometimes when given a means of expressing that is not usually available, things start to come out that can be very disturbing to see on paper. If you’re interested perhaps I could put some of the narrative into this blog, if that’s something you’d like to read? I know I’ve tried Googling to see if anyone else has tried blogging their internal conversations but I haven’t been able to find any. I will need to think more about if this is definitely OK to do but if you would like to read it let me know (often it’s not pretty though. Does this blog have rules about language or content?)

Anyway, that’s enough for now, I’m sure your eyes will be tired, if not your brain after reading all of that!
