A slipped disk/disc is also known as a herniated disk that occurs when one of the disks of the spine becomes damaged and presses on the nerves. The disks are protective shock-absorbing pads between the bones of the spine (vertebrae).

Knee Bursitis Knee bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa located near the knee joint. A bursa is a small fluid-filled, pad-like sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction and cushions the pressure points between the bones, tendons, and muscles near the joints. Each knee has 11 bursae. An injury, infection, frequent pressure from kneeling or rheumatic condition can cause a bursa inflammation. Age also plays a role. As tendons age, they tolerate less stress, become less elastic, and tear easily. Knee bursitis most commonly occurs over the kneecap or on the inner side of the knee below the joint.Knee bursitis causes pain and can limit mobility. Treatment includes self-care practices and medical management to relieve pain and inflammation. Tips to reduce pain and discomfort Rest the knee. Discontinue the activity that causes knee bursitis and avoid movements that increase the pain. Use an ice pack for 20 minutes several times a day until the pain is less and the knee does not feel warm to the touch. Use a compressive wrap or knee sleeve to reduce the swelling. Raise the knee by placing the legs on pillows to reduce swelling. Wear kneepads to cushion and protect the knees while working on your knees or participating in sports that put the knees at risk. Take regular breaks if you are working for a prolonged period resting on the knees. Stretch the legs and give the knees a rest. Avoid excessive squatting as it increases pressure on the knee joints Lift heavy items properly. Bend your knees to reduce stress on the bursae. Walk frequently. Try not to sit in one position too long, especially on hard surfaces. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight places more stress on the joints. Start the day with exercise. This will help the muscles protect the affected joints. Warm up and stretch before strenuous activities to protect the joints from injury.

Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa. The bursa is a sac filled with fluid under the skin, which acts as a cushion between the tendons and the bones. Bursitis occurs when the bursa becomes inflamed. The most common areas where bursitis occurs are the shoulders, elbows, and hip

BUNION A bunion is a bump on the side of the big toe. The visible bump reflects changes in the bone framework of the front part of the foot. The big toe leans toward the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. Bunions are a progressive disorder. They begin with a leaning of the big toe, gradually changing the angle of the bones over the years and slowly producing the bump. Causes One of the main reasons for developing bunions is wearing tight, high-heeled, or too-narrow shoes. They can also develop when the pressures of bearing and shifting the weight fall unevenly on the joints and tendons in the feet. Bunions may also be associated with certain types of arthritis, particularly inflammatory types, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Some people may have a genetic predisposition to bunions.   Tips for relief from a bunion • Apply an ice pack two to three times daily to help reduce swelling if a bunion becomes inflamed or painful. • Place a non-medicated bunion pad over the area to reduce pain • Avoid activity that causes pain, including standing for long periods of time. • Consult a doctor if the bunion is still causing pain.   Tips for prevention • The shoes should conform to the shape of the feet without squeezing or pressing any part of the foot. • Make sure that shoes don’t cramp or irritate the toes. • Avoid pointy-toed shoes. • Use shoe inserts to help position the foot correctly. • Wear flat or low-heeled, wide-fitting shoes if you have a bunion. Shoes made from soft leather will help relieve pressure on the bunion.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway – about as big as the thumb – located on the inside of the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful hand and arm condition caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. When the nerve is compressed it causes numbness, pain, and weakness of the hand – signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. Causes Most noticeable at night or in the morning, the condition is triggered by diabetes, gout, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, or fractures of the wrist. Women are three times more at risk than men. People who type a lot or use vibrating hand tools are also at a higher risk. Symptoms Weakness in the thumb and first two fingers, difficulty in making a fist or grasping objects firmly or buttoning a shirt, etc. Some people feel a swelling in their fingers, though nothing is visible. Or they may have trouble distinguishing between hot and cold. Managing the Condition • Rest the hands and wrists by wearing a brace to limit movement, especially at night to prevent the wrist from twisting during sleep. • A cold compress will help reduce pain. • Stretching exercises help prevent pain, numbness, and weakness. • Yoga can also help improve grip strength. * Avoid sleeping on hands.     Carpal tunnel syndrome can be prevented by • Maintaining a good posture. • Making sure the workstation is comfortable and the wrists and hands are supported while working, especially on a computer/laptop. • Stretching the hands and wrists regularly. • Taking frequent breaks to move the arms and legs, leaning back, and changing positions
