How Can Shoulder Bursitis Be Treated?

I have shoulder bursitis and it is relatively new. I was reading that gout may have something to do with it and my father has had gout attacks for years. What can I do to relieve the shoulder pain since it hurts to rest and having trouble going to sleep.

Hi,

More than four a shoulder bursitis can occur in diabetic patients. You need to get a blood sugar and a uric acid done and then start the treatment accordingly. Physiotherapy also plays a major role.

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