Hip Bursitis
Cortisone Injection Treatment for Hip Bursitis
For what conditions are cortisone injections used?
Cortisone injections can be used to treat the inflammation of small areas of the body (local injections), or they can be used to treat inflammation that is widespread throughout the body (systemic injections). Examples of conditions for which local cortisone injections are used include inflammation of a bursa (bursitis of the hip, knee, elbow, or shoulder), a tendon (tendonitis), and a joint (arthritis).
Hip bursitis facts
- A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body.
- There are two major bursae of the hip.
- Bursitis, or inflammation of a bursa, is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected.
- Treatment of noninfectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis (uncommon) is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery.
- Bursitis of the hip is the most common cause of hip pain.
- Trochanteric bursitis frequently causes tenderness of the outer hip.
- Ischial bursitis can cause dull pain in the upper buttock area. Continue Reading

'via Blog this' From grillist.com: Central TEXAS CUISINE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TEXAS BBQ By DAN GENTILE Published On 12/08/2015 @dannosphere DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST They say everything's bigger in Texas and barbecue is no exception. Barbecue tradition runs deep in the Lone Star State, but it's only been in the past decade that the region's signature style has stolen the national smoked meat spotlight from the pork-minded pitmasters of Tennessee and the Carolinas. It's hard to understand what makes the state's barbecue unique if you haven't spent time in Central Texas, so here's everything you need to know to eat barbecue like a true Texan. When people say "Texas-style," they mean "Central Texas-style" South Texas focuses on barbacoa, East Texas serves chopped beef, and West Texas cooks over direct heat in a style more akin to grilling. The food varies depending on where you are in the state, but when people use the term “Texas barbecue” it almost always translates the Central Texas-style of cooking brisket low and slow over indirect heat. Since you'll rarely see the others unless you're road-tripping to remote corners of the state, most of this article concerns the style associated with Central Texas. RECOMMENDED VIDEO EAT THE MOST OVERLOOKED SAUCE IN AMERICAN BBQ WATCH MORE DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST Beef is the main course The first thing that makes Texas the iconoclast of the 'cueing world is a worship of beef over pork. The preference dates back to the cattle industry, but culturally you can chalk it up to bigger-in-Texas palates. Argue all you like about proteins, but it's tough to convince a Texan that the other white meat packs more flavor than a well-cooked piece of beef. The two types of brisket are moist and lean A brisket has two distinct portions, the leaner "flat" and the fattier "point." Some menus list both types, but even those that don't will happily cut from whichever side of the brisket a customer prefers. Fatty (aka “moist”) is more popular and loaded with flavor. The lower fat content of the lean side makes it harder to cook perfectly, but it's by no means a second class barbecue citizen -- it's still served with a sliver of fat cap. DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST No combo plate is complete without brisket Pork ribs, sausage, turkey, beef ribs, and pulled pork typically round out a menu, but no plate of Texas barbecue is complete without brisket. The collagen-packed chest muscle is king and how it's cooked is considered the true measure of a pitmaster's skill. If Texas had a list of barbecue commandments, Thou Shalt Order Brisket would be No. 1. White bread, onions, and pickles are free Condiment stations are always loaded with quartered white onions, pickles, and cheap white bread. There might occasionally be a charge for more premium bread or fancy pickles, but the standards should definitely come for free. DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST Wood is favored over charcoal or gas Smokers with a gas assist function have gained popularity in higher volume restaurants, but most masters still do it the old-fashioned way: a hardwood fire that's watched carefully overnight. The most common wood used in Central Texas is post oak, but you'll also see mesquite and hickory. The fires burn low and slow One of the hardest parts of barbecuing is the meticulous management of a fire. If you cook too hot and fast, the collagen won't have time to render and the inherent toughness of the cut of meat will prevail. Pitmasters subscribe to a low and slow philosophy that can take up to 20 hours for each brisket. Many of the most legitimate barbecue operations happen outdoors Based on regulations on indoor smokers, spatial considerations, and the low startup cost of trailers, cooking is often done outside. This further complicates the fragile ecosystem inside the smoker and tests a pitmaster's abilities. DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST The rubs aren't loaded with secret spices One of the primary distinctions of Central Texas BBQ is simplicity. Many pitmasters will sneak in a hint of garlic powder or cayenne, but the traditional rub for a brisket is a fistful of salt and black pepper to amplify the flavor without complicating it. There's usually a wait Good things come to those who stand outside a Texas barbecue joint for two hours. The best barbecue restaurants in Texas are so popular that lines can exceed four hours on busy weekends. This practice of waiting has been so ingrained in the experience that the lines of famous spots like Franklin Barbecue develop their own micro-economies. People rent out chairs and even sell their place in line (a practice that Franklin has now banned). Luckily in many of those lines you won't be thirsty, because... Beer is free (sometimes!) Since many of the best Central Texas barbecue operations are trailers that can't secure official alcohol licenses, the workaround is to hand out free beers to people waiting in line as a little present for their patience. RELATED What I Learned Judging The Biggest Competition In BBQ DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST Sauce is frowned upon Although most restaurants offer several varieties of tomato-based table sauce, brisket is almost always served dry. Purists and snobby food writers will say that sauce overwhelms the meat and is the equivalent of squirting ketchup on a steak. Meat is served market-style In a throwback to German and Czech meat market roots, most Texas barbecue restaurants sell meat by the pound. It's ordered and sliced at a counter, then presented on a plastic tray covered in butcher paper. Expect to use that tray as a communal plate. It's a lunch thing When the primary product takes upwards of 15 hours to cook and space inside a smoker is finite, supplies are limited. As a result, many of the state's premier barbecue spots are only able to cook enough meat to last through a lunch rush, so not many people eat brisket for dinner. DAN GENTILE/THRILLIST Sausage is historically important German and Czech immigrants have had a big influence on the state, earning sausage an important place on any Texas barbecue menu. Elgin is the state's sausage capital and the the birthplace of “hot guts," an all-beef sausage that the originators at Southside Market proudly sell wholesale to many restaurants. Pitmasters who make their own will often offer more than one variety, from staples like jalapeño cheese to more creative styles that incorporate flavors from other global cuisines. Traditionalists eat with their hands Although not everyone likes to get down and dirty, traditionalists will tell you to ignore forks and knives and grab that slab of moist brisket with your hands. You'll occasionally even find old-school joints that don't offer cutlery, like Kreuz Market in Lockhart. Offering a sample bite of brisket is polite pitmaster etiquette Hour-long lines make for high levels of anticipation, and a customary reward for the wait is a tiny slice of brisket as soon as a customer reaches the counter.
