Yes depends on you : One of the ways we evaluate you is what is your pain score from 1 to 10. Also where is your bursitis? Local therapy like exercise and physical therapy can help. People with diabetes can also have certai n mu sculoskeletal problems we call diabetic cheiroarthropathy. Your dose of Gabapentin is low and could be increased or switched to Lyrica (pregabalin) depending on your insurance.

Ok: As directed by a physician, these seem fairly reasonable choices although its not clear what the tramadol is for. Further, the Gabapentin is typically dosed three times daily. Anti-inflammatories typically help costochondritis.
