I take aspirin and use a capacin based cream for immediate local relief.
I am scheduled to the VA hospital on April 6th for steroid shots
directly into the bursal sack for more permanent relief. The last time I
had to have the shots was 25 years ago so they must work for me. I'm
having difficulty reaching behind me and over my head with either arm.
Have to carry my wallet and handkerchief in front pockets for awhile.
