Hi Anon - Generally it's recommended trying the following during the initial, acute stages of bursitis:
* Resting the affected area
* Icing the painful area
* Taking anti-inflammatory medications
* Protecting the area from trauma
If the pain persists after taking those measures then it would be advisable to see a physician. The doctor may use remedies such as cortisone injections to provide relief. You can learn more here:

Does this answer your question? I've personally had bursitis and it's very painful. How long have you been dealing with the pain? Have you tried any of the recommendations above? Pat
