Any advice? i have been suffering with my shoulder for couple of years. any advice? i have been told by doctors i have bursitis?

Therapy program: Most of the time subacromial bursitis will resolve with a course of physical therapy. If it doesn't then a cortisone injection may help. If all else fails, arthroscopic surgery may be indicated. See an orthopaedist to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
