Pain medication, rest, and icing the joint may help relieve your bursitis. However, other treatment measures may be necessary:
●Corticosteroids can help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation as much as there is no evidence of infection in or near the bursa
●Antibiotics are essential if the bursa is infected
●At-home exercises may also help relieve pain and other symptoms. You may rarely need physical therapy.
Bursitis can last from a few days to a few weeks. One can treat the condition at home and make it go away in a few weeks.
Bursitis is more likely to improve within a few days or weeks if you take proper rest and treat the affected area. But it may come back if you do not stretch and strengthen the muscles near the joint and change some activities.
