Hello, everyone!
I already had an X-ray, and it didn't show any fractures. My doctor suspects bursitis and has requested an MRI.
For those who have been diagnosed with bursitis, did you also need an MRI, or was a physical exam and your symptoms enough to make the diagnosis?
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you!
Hello!
38yoF diagnosed with chronic SASD bursitis. Mild impingement at times but not very often.
History of multiple shoulder subluxations but never any dislocations.
Wondering if anyone else experiences the same symptoms as I do? As most people state extreme / bad pain but my symptoms have been more subtle now for 6 months, diagnosed at about 3.5months after symptom onset with ultrasound:
- mild ache only to deltoid
- constant feeling of “tiredness” to deltoid as well as posterior aspect of shoulder
- the feeling I get is a constant dull ache In the background that I wouldn’t call pain but is very persistent and annoying.
Nothing relieves it.
I do not have any range of motion limitations.
Weirdly I notice it more when I’m lying on my opposite shoulder at night and it feels better when lying on it.
Just curious as to see how everyone else has experienced their chronic bursitis - mine is not acute in nature.
Many thanks
So I was recently diagnosed with hip bursitis. I’ve been having hip pain on and off for about 6 months now, but it really started to flare when I started my new job working in retail. I really like my job but I’m on my feet all day and by the end of the day it feels like my hip is going to snap!! Even with PT and treatment, will I ever be able to get rid of the pain if I don’t quit my job?
