How Can Bursitis And Tendinitis In The Shoulder Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed by a doctor with bursitis/tendonitis in my shoulder. I have received two cortisone shots in the past two months and the shoulder is still very painful. They helped for a few days only. What else can I do - I have been to physical therapy for 12 weeks and also chiropractor. Please help me

Hi,

You can repeat the corticosteroids injection at bursitis. Also can use oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil or Naproxen.

Also, oral corticosteroids can be used. Talk to your doctor because you may need to use antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
