How Can Bursitis Be Treated?

I feel fine now had some bursitis still have quite a few meloxicam pills left, Do I need to take them all? I am not feeling any side effects but I know this is a strong medicine and I may not notice any obvious symptoms and don t want to continue if it is not necessary.

It is not necessary to take if there is no paon anymore.
. At this point your should rest , apply ice, t and elevate your affected bone and put elastic compress. It should lead to symptom improvement within 12 hours. Later,if there is no improvement, it would be advisable to do xrays and see if fracture exist. Also, hematoma or seroma accumulation may persist and then elbow punction and fluid evacuation should be done by doctor.
