Anyone else had this diagnosis? Doc put me on Anti-inflammatories Nov 11 and gave me the usual stretch band exercises and said it should go away in about a month. Hasn't happened. Guess I should have asked if I needed to stop swimming. I train mostly USRP (free and fly), so only about 2,000-2,500 3-4 days a week. The pain is not bad, as I had been swimming with it since the middle of Sept, but now I am worried if I continue to swim with the inflamed bursa sack that it might do some long term damage. So maybe for the next few weeks just do some fin kick sets and hit the bike at the gym, and more core work (yuck)???
Years ago I had bursitis so bad I could not lift my arm. I did everything the doctors said. It did not go away. Then someone told me of a home remedy (don't laugh): fruit pectin syrup and orange juice. Yes, the stuff used for canning jams. I followed the directions: One large tablespoon of pectin stirred into three ounces of orange juice twice a day. My bursitis was gone in about a month. I haven't had trouble since. I was told the pectin is an anti-inflammatory and the vitamin C acts as a catalyst to digest it.
Don't shoot the messenger. Honestly, it worked.
