Seriously, use Aleve. Rub ben-gay or some other joint pain reliever, it does work.
Try ice. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Repeat as needed.
I know you have head this but Aleve works!!
remedies for bursitis…. 1: drain it at if its huge enough via a doctor. 2: NSAID’s ie ibuprofen. 3: ice it.
Ouch! I know bursitis can be painful so I feel for you. The first thing I want to suggest is that you take an anti-inflammatory pain reliever such as advil, aleve or aspirin. These would work better than tylenol for bursitis, since what you have is an inflammation of the bursa sack that covers your elbow joint.
Take it on a regular basis for five to seven days if the pain persists. Now, in addition to that, you might want to get a thermogesic patch. These are thin patches you can get at a drug store or wal-mart, that are made to fit various body parts. They stay hot and are made to be worn for eight hours at a time. But if you just recently have had the attack of bursitis, you’d want to go with ice. Apply an ice pack on and off for a few days. After 48 hours, you can go with dry or moist heat. The patches are best when using heat because you’re not confined to one place, they’ll go with you wherever you go! Aside from that, you can also soak a cloth in mullein tea and apply it. Repeat at regular intervals. Also, take calcium, vitamin B12 and magnesium. Hope this offers you some relief!
I would apply heat to the elbow and elevate it on a pillow when resting. I reckon Advil Liquigels and Naprosyn (aleve) work well. Try one or the other, not both at the same time. Excellent luck.
Aleve is a excellent pain killer and also anti inflamatory
