Ice Pack
Another essential initial step to take when you have bursitis is to apply an ice pack on the affected area. Ice is a great pain reliever. It will help to control and manage the inflammation, and as a result, swelling is reduced too. With patience and time to time application of ice pack, pain is also decreased. Apply the ice pack for 15-20 minutes and remove for the skin to get warm, then apply again. You can apply it frequently as you want but do not ice for more than the stated 15-20 minutes to avoid skin damage. [1]
