[Trombone-l] Bursitis

[Pat McFarland]

Dan,

I also have bursitis in my right shoulder...  and arthritis in both
shoulders.  I almost quit playing because of it.  That was 5 years ago.
That's also when I bought an Ergobone...  I'm still playing (and with a lot
less pain).

Pat

I have debilitating bursitis in my right shoulder and all this time Ive 
attributed it to the remodeling, Im doing on the house.  But I took the 
weekend off and my shoulder was feeling pretty good.  So today I played 
trombone for the first time in a long while.  The bursitis is back in force,

after playing a half an hour of arpeggios.

Now, Ive been told that the reason they limit the number of cortisone shots

one can get is because it causes deterioration of the bonesnot a good 
thing.
So Id like to avoid cortisone, if possible.

But is there anything else that will get my shoulder to stop throbbing?
