i've gotten the cordizone shot but it isn't helping
Answer:
You need to be sure that it is bursitis and not a damaged rotator cuff. A fluid filled bursis can be drained with a thin hypodermic, by your doctor. A rotator cuff will only improve with surgery. If the bursis is not improved by corticosteroids, and a draining doesn't help, then it also will require surgery. The newer microsurgical techniques have a much faster rate of recovery.
I have this too, and when you rest, and dont do what it is that is causing it, the pain will lighten up. Whatever it is that is causing it, cleaning, exercise, work, take breaks from the movement that you are doing. switch sides or something ever now and then.otherwise, go back to the Dr. there are other causes, somtimes it can be a bacteria that is causing it and only antibiotics will cure it.
Bursitis often affects the areas around the joints in your shoulders, elbows or hips. But you can also have bursitis by your knee, heel and even in the base of your big toe. Bursitis pain usually goes away within a week or so with proper treatment, but recurrent flare-ups of bursitis are common and can be frustrating.
