Thank you Pat – I actually have been using Birch and Lemongrass, as well as some others specifically for bursitis. We will know more after our appointment tomorrow, it is just hard to know what we can and cannot commit to right now for her Club VB – which is a huge financial commitment. My gut tells me we are done for a while….but you know it’s hard to say that to her. :-/ Thanks for your advice, and I will keep you posted.

How sad at that young age to suffer like that. If it were me I would be using Birch and Lemon Grass.
Lemon Grass is great for repairing ligaments and tendons and the Birch keeps the inflammation down
and alleviates the pain.
I know we only get Birch once a year and our supply doesn't seem to last long but if you don't have
Birch let us know, someone will have a bottle to send you.
Blessings,
Pat

Hi everyone – I hope you are having a very Merry Christmas Season!
I have a question to see if anyone has had experience with this. My 15 year old Volleyball player has developed what we think may be bursitis in both of her knees. We took her to our Chiropractor friend who’s daughter also had this condition years ago (from Volleyball), and he also thought it could be Tendonitis as well. We’ve ruled out a torn Meniscus just because he said that it would usually only happen in one knee – but we aren’t sure. She is in a lot of pain, and can barely walk. It hurts to sit in class at school sometimes.
We are using a lot of oils on her – and we will be taking her to a physical therapist friend of ours on Thursday to get a better idea how long this may take, and what else to do. She was supposed to start Club Volleyball, but that is looking like a no-go at this time. She is so sad, because VB is her life – but she also knows that she has to look to the future.
I had bursitis in my hip last year and it was only the oils that helped me. I just thought I’d check and see if anyone had other experience with this. It is very painful, and takes a long time to heal from what I’ve read so far. The one doctor I called just wanted to give her cortisone shots in her knees! I just don’t feel comfortable with that at her age – or their other suggestion was to take 12 ibuprofen a day. :-/ ughhh!
