A member asked:

What is a mild subdeltoid bursitis and how is it treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diagnosis?: This sounds like a reading from an MRI and not really a clinical diagnosis. Depending on many factors including whether you had an injury, etc. Treatment may include a steroid injection into the subdeltoid bursa and physical therapy.
