7 Treatments for Bursitis You Need to Know

A Cortisone Shot

There is a kind of bursitis you suffer that it might seem nothing is working for it. You have taken a break from your activities, you have tried ice packs and even over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, but still, the symptoms are persistent and increasing in severity as the days roll. You can consider an injection of cortisone which is a potent and effective anti-inflammatory medication. This medication cannot be administered orally, but rather directly to the site of the inflammation. If it is possible to avoid this medication, then try because it is accompanied by possible side effects. [3]
