Roy, I have bursitis in my left shoulder (I tune right-handed luckily). I had an MRI done on it, so it is positively bursitis. That is a good start - get a positive diagnosis. My doctor said in an extreme case, surgery can be performed to remove the bursa sac, which becomes inflamed and causes the pain, which would be a drastic measure and she wouldn't recommend it unless someone had a chronic case that didn't respond to other treatment such as anti-inflammatory drugs or cortisone shots.
