Depends on whether or not it involves infection. Bursitis that is not infected (from injury or underlying rheumatic disease) can be treated with ice compresses, and rest

Have you seen a doctor about it recently? You should talk to a doctor about you options, if your bursitis has persisted this long then an anti-inflammatory is needed you may even need a cortisone injection

Ask you doctor about cortizone injections. My music teacher had it last year and the cortizone really helped a lot for her. She is now fully healed.

Yeah I have but I haven’t gone back its a bummer going to the doc! I try to avoid doc visits as much as possible.
