A member asked:
Any advice? i have had bilateral subacromial bursitis for one year now and don't know how to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
