question: I m having pain at about 9.5 in my frontal shoulder area. Could this be bursitis, arthritis, torn rotator cuff, or dislocation. To my knowledge I have not injured this shoulder. I had 3 months ago surgery on the opposite shoulder for bursitis in which the bursa sac was removed. I do have osteoarthritis in some of my other joints. I am having to wait for my orthopedic appointment until next month on the 12th. What else can I do? I ve tried icing and it helps while on. Booze also helps with pain. I will not take Norco. I take meloxicam daily for fibromyalgia and have also take aleve today as in other days. Is there anything else interim that I can do?
