Bursitis 19-Feb-2015 At 9:04:26 PM Lee C

mb21 describes the typical story well. The bursa is there to cushion the normal bone to bone approximation that occurs in the shoulder. Bursitis (and the irritation of other structures in the area) comes about when the normal amount of 'squish' is exceeded. It is the victim of the factors mentioned by mb21.
At best, injections will give you up to about 6 weeks in which the reduced pain allows you to reverse these other factors. Surgery can help but involves immobilisation which further messes with your strength and control making rehab an even bigger challenge.

Get it checked out by someone who can tell you what in your life has brought it on, reverse that and manage the pain on the way. Good luck.
