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

Oh I’ve had it for over a year in my shoulder seems like nothings helping

Answer #3

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

Answer #4

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.
