That sounds terrible after all those years. I have just been told that I have bursitis in the right shoulder but I have had this agonising pain and sleepless nights for over 5 weeks. I have taken tramadol, and other antiflamatory meds along with an injection in the shoulder a week ago and nothing has changed. I don't know what to do next. I can't lay down for more than 2 hrs before having to get out of bed and put ice to the painful area. Can anyone guide me from here?
