INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This type of injection is one of the main medical treatments for bursitis. Essentially, your doctor will use a needle to inject cortisone into the joint. If you're worried about the pain, most doctors use an anesthetic first to numb the area. He or she may also use an ultrasound to help guide the needle to the right place. These injections should help both the inflammation and the pain, though it may become worse before it gets better. Sometimes, the inflammation is caused by an infection. A round of antibiotics can help your body fight off the infection, reducing the inflammation and the bursitis. If the bursa is infected, your doctor may drain the infected fluid first with a needle. Physical therapy may be a good option for you, especially if you have frequent flare-ups. A physical therapist can show you how to best exercise to improve your range of motion and pain level, as well as how to help prevent the problem in the future. Water can help you move the joint easier without as much pain, so that you can slowly regain motion. However, be gentle in your swimming. Swimming can lead to bursitis in the shoulder, so keep the intensity down. Focus on recovering motion and lessening pain not on an intense workout. Another option is water physical therapy, which allows you to improve your pain under the direction of a professional. A surgeon can surgically remove the bursa if it becomes a severe problem, but this treatment is usually the last one a doctor will recommend.

SUMMARY: Ask your doctor about corticosteroid injections. Take antibiotics. Pursue physical therapy. Try swimming, or get in a hot tub. Use surgery as a last option.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't want to purchase a specially made degreaser or scuff remover, you can try making a homemade cleaner first. Combine equal parts of white vinegar and water. Pour the mixture into a clean spray bottle. Whether a brand name or generic product, you can find magic eraser scrubbing pads at your nearest home goods, home improvement, or department store. They're the easiest and most effective pad to use when buffing out scuffed or scratched vinyl. Further, they won't wear away of the vinyl surface like a more abrasive pad would. Spray enough to saturate the scuffed portion of the vinyl panel. Use the magic eraser to wipe it down using long, even strokes. Wipe away residue with a microfiber towel when you're finished. For deeper or more serious scuffs, you may need a little extra abrasion. Try adding enough baking soda to form a thin paste. If you've added a cup (240 mL) each of water and vinegar, try adding two or three tablespoons of baking soda. Mix well until the baking soda is well suspended.

SUMMARY: Create a homemade vinegar-based cleaner. Use a magic eraser to buff out scuffs. Spray the cleaner onto the scuffed surface and wipe. Try adding baking soda to your cleaning solution.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure the soil is kept moist, but not soggy. The tubers will rot in soggy soil. To help keep the right level of soil moisture, mulch around the plants after you have planted them. Use potash and phosphorus as well as a 5-10-10 fertilizer monthly to ensure optimum growth. If you live in a region where the temperature drops below 70 degrees in the winter, dig up the caladium tubers. Replant them when the soil is warm again. If your caladium is in a container, simply bring it inside for the winter. Caladiums do well as house plants. Be sure they get some sunlight during the day. Fertilize every few weeks with a liquid fertilizer. When your plant begins to die back, but before the first frost, dig up the tuber and discard the wilted leaves. Let the tubers dry out for a few days and then store them with dry peat moss in a box or paper bag in a dark cool place for the winter. Throw out any soft or empty feeling tubers. Plant when the soil is warm and ready for your caladiums to grow well.

SUMMARY: Keep caladiums well watered. Fertilize caladiums periodically. Overwinter your caladiums.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Training an adult pug requires a different approach than what you'd use with a puppy. Your adult pug may have had some previous training, but it may not have been completed or consistently reinforced. Ask the rescue group or animal shelter from where you adopted your pug about what types of additional training he will need. Older dogs are calmer and tend to have longer attention spans than puppies. Adult dogs are more set in their ways (including bad habits) and may take longer to train. Be patient with your adult pug during the training process. If your adult pug was mistreated by his previous owner, he may be extra sensitive to yelling or harsh punishment. As you train your adult pug, always keep a calm temper, including when he has an accident or doesn't follow a command. If you have other household members, have them all train your adult pug. By involving everyone, your pug will feel like he's part of your pack, which will help him feel safe and loved. To prevent him from getting confused from working with different people, make sure everyone uses the same commands, says the commands in the same tone of voice, and does not deviate from the training process (e.g., letting him get away with bad behavior).

SUMMARY:
Identify his training needs. Be gentle with your adult pug. Involve your whole family in the training process.
