Bursitis: Quickly becoming the most popular diagnosis in american medicine is shoulder pain caused by repetitive motion from typing or keyboarding. The cure comes from resting that joint. That means you do not type with that arm, you carry nothing heavy with that arm. If you are not improving from rest then physical therapy must be added to the treatment plan.
