Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Bursitis heals in nearly 3 weeks. But as you were having very fewer movements, so you are likely to be having frozen shoulder. In this mobilization exercises of shoulder and analgesic helps. Cortisone shots are also helpful. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
