Dear MendMeShop, I am writing to let you know of how excited I am to have learned, used and benefited from your ultrasound treatment. Months back, my husband bought me a car with a manual transmission. After about five months of driving it my right arm began to hurt. The pain started out mildly but soon it turned into acute bursitis. I was no longer able to use my arm nor my car.
I went to see the doctor but he could not offer me much hope, as I suffered from a stomach condition that prevented my being able to use anti-inflammatory medication. Days, weeks, and months followed and my arm worsened. I turned to the internet and came upon your website. I read your information and was surprised to hear about your ultrasound treatment. I was desperately hoping to obtain relief from my pain and so I took my chances, ordered your product and began using it faithfully in your prescribed manner.
After about a week I started to feel better. I continued with your recommendations and after about another week I was greatly improved! Within a months time I had recovered about 97 percent of my arms mobility. I am now doing great and have recovered fully. I continue to be excited about your product and if anyone around me complains about similar pain I tell them about this fantastic ultrasound device. I know that if they are serious about getting better this is a great product to try! Rating:  Virginia Tellers
Bursitis Injury Facts Part 2:
Normally, bursa are flat and contain very little fluid. An injured bursa however, is swollen with fluid and not so flat anymore.
The most common bursitis injuries are:
Prepatellar Bursitis (housemaid's knee),
Superficial Infrapatellar Bursitis (clergyman's knee),
Trochanteric Bursitis (hip),
Olecranon Bursitis (student's elbow) and
Subacromial Bursitis (shoulder bursitis).
Deep Bursae separate bare areas of bone from overlapping muscles.
Superficial Bursae separate
bare areas of bone from skin or tendons.
Deep Bursae develop in the womb. Superficial Bursae develop within months to several years after birth.
Household names for various bursitis injuries include: Popeye's Elbow, Miner's Elbow, Weaver's Elbow, Housemaid's Knee, Hod-Carrier's Shoulders, Dustman's Shoulders, Student's Elbow, and Clergyman's Knee
Bursitis Injury Facts Part 3:
On occasion, bacteria can invade a bursa and cause an infection. An infected bursa is known as septic bursitis and can be life-threatening if left untreated. So make sure you see a physician!
Septic bursitis is most common in knee joints and elbow joints as the bursae in these locations are close to the skin and most susceptible to bacterial invasion.
It is not uncommon for bursitis to be misdiagnosed as arthritis.
Bursitis is best avoided by staying in shape, taking frequent breaks from repetitive or laborious tasks and cushioning joints if on them for long periods (ie. kneepads for gardening).
A Bursa can swell to a surprisingly large size. In cases of heavy swelling, your physician may choose to drain fluid from the swollen bursa. If a lump is present in chronic bursitis cases, excision may be required.
Clergyman's Knee comes from a more upright posture when kneeling in comparison to Housemaid's Knee. Patients suffering from gout or syphilis can be at higher risk of contracting Clergyman's Knee.

Bursitis Inflammation Facts:
Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa.
Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the area, or from a sudden, more serious injury.
Ultrasound can speed Bursitis injury recovery significantly.
Bursitis high-risk activities include gardening, raking, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing, and pitching.
If bursitis persists and is left untreated, calcium deposits can form within the bursae. These calcium deposits limit range of motion and can lead to a permanently stiff joint.
Incorrect posture at work or home and poor stretching or conditioning before exercise can also lead to bursitis.
