Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to bursitis. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa.
A bursa is a small sac of fluid that cushions a joint and helps it move easily. Bursitis usually gets better if you avoid the activity that caused it.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local applications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
