SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR BURSITIS

Can you get ssd ssi disability for bursitis?


Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. What is a bursa? A bursa is a sac that produces lubricating fluid for a joint, such as a knee joint, or shoulder joint. When a bursa becomes inflamed, its ability to produce a joint's lubricating (synovial) fluid becomes impaired and the individual develops bursitis. Bursitis typically results from the injury or overuse of the affected joint, and left entirely untreated bursitis can become chronic in its limiting effects.

Initial treatment of bursitis often involves supporting the bursa. Support for the bursa may be achieved using compression to brace affected tendon areas to limit tendon mobility. Although the bursa must be supported, it is important to relax the compression when sitting or lying down. If the compression is not reduced at these times, the bursa will actually lose its ability to lubricate and this may cause more friction between bone and tendon. The pain and inflammation of bursitis may be treated with topical pain relievers that have the ability to penetrate the skin to deliver anti-inflammatory medication.

Fortunately, most episodes of bursitis are short lived; however those that last longer than six months are considered to be chronic, and difficult to effectively treat.

Though a disability application for bursitis alone is not likely to result in an approval for disability benefits, a claimant with orthopedic or joint problems should list all of their diagnosed conditions when they file a disability claim, including bursitis.
