Bursitis refers to the inflammation or irritation of the bursa.    The bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid that helps to reduce rubbing, friction and irritation. It is normally located between the bones, muscles, tendons and the skin. This condition is mostly caused by repetitive minor impacts to a specific area or from a sudden serious injury. Age also promotes this disease. As you age, your tendons tolerate less stress, they become less elastic and also easier to tear.

If you overuse or injure a joint, you increase your chances of developing this disease. Some of the activities that can heighten your chances of suffering from this condition include carpentry, scrubbing, skiing and gardening. Others are raking, tennis and golf. Incorrect posture either at work or at home as well as poor stretching can also lead to bursitis.

Coping With Psoriasis And Treatments

Psoriasis is a NON-CONTAGIOUS skin disorder. It is generally believed to be caused by a “malfunction” of the immune system  resulting in excessive reproduction of skin cells. A normal skin cell matures in 28 – 30 days and is shed off unnoticed but psoriatic skin cell matures in just a matter of 3 – 4 days. This causes the dead skin cells to pile up and form the characteristic red patches of scales,plaque and lesion. Inflammation is caused by activation of T-cells which trigger the release of cytokines. In truth, psoriasis is a disorder stemming from a physical defect just as in arthritis,asthma,diabetes and myopia. Heredity plays a role but some people with no family history of psoriasis are also affected. Educating the public with the facts of psoriasis will hopefully eradicate the myths and misconceptions about the disorder.

There are many types of psoriasis. The most common form is Plaque psoriasis (vulgaris) – affecting more than 80% of sufferers.It appears as raised areas of inflamed,silvery white scaly skin known as plaques.

* Guttate psoriasis – numerous small round spots appear over large area of the body,limbs and scalp.It is associated with streptococcal throat infection.
* Pustular psoriasis – appears as pus-filled bumps with the surrounding area red and tender. usually occurring on the hands and feet.
* Nail psoriasis – characterize with discoloring, lines across the nail plate,thickening of skin under nail and the loosening and crumbling of the nail.
* Psoriatic arthritis – cause ‘sausage-like’ swelling on the fingers and toes. It involves joint and connective tissue inflammation and also affects the hips, knees and spine.
