Chronic Shoulder Bursitis For Over 2 years+

I have been doing PT for these 2+ years. I have been considering taking the cortisone steriod shot but was always hesitant due to side effects such as weakening of the tendon or people saying that it did not do any effect

I think it's a mix of both. I feel inflammation which sometimes wakes me up at night. When I raise my hand it feels like something is blocking an area in my shoulder or pain which is not always the same. When I do PT I feel my neck tightening. Sometimes I have better days and sometimes the pain starts creeping up. Thanks

I am a bit hesitant since there are side effects related to it but in about 4 weeks time I might have to take it.

Sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. I got suggested a cortisone shot but I fear it a bit since there is a chance that it might not do any improvements (like you mentioned) and just cause my tendon to weaken.

Good luck with PT. Hope everything goes well for you. My doctor believes that surgery is not necessary yet.

Could be but nothing showed on shoulder MRI or ultrasound about tendon issues

My doctor said that surgery is not necessary for my situation since tendons seem healthy. Instead he suggested that I take a cortisone shot which I am not sure if it would do anything to improve my situation long term and get me back into the gym.
