9.Protect Your Bursae
You can help yourself heal if you play it safe. Avoid any motion that causes pain. Use pads or cushions to protect your knees and rear end if you sit or kneel a lot. Look for footwear and pads that lessen pressure on the back of the heel, or get custom devices that protect your elbows so that fluid won’t build up again.
10.Ice or Heat
To get relief from pain, ice might help, especially in areas closer to the surface of your skin, like the kneecap, heel, and elbow. Heat may be better for deeper bursitis in your shoulder, inner knee, and hip.
