Waiting For The Burn Out

I have bursitis in my left shoulder.  Or so we think anyway.  I went to the doctor a little over a week ago and he informed me that bursitis can take up to 4-6 weeks to burn out.  My shoulder has already been hurting since the end of December. (Not Fun)  So now I play the waiting game.  Waiting for the bursitis to burn out.  Morning- no pain, afternoon- discomfort, evening- pain, take pain pills and become best friends with the ice on my shoulder, after dinner more ice, put on the patch for pain relief (love the patch), more pain pills if it is time and always more ice (did I mention how I love the ice?), try to sleep.  Repeat daily.


I don't think I have ever appreciated the workings of a shoulder until now.


I don't mean to complain, just tired of pain and feeling lazy. So I watch the snow fall outside my window and wait for the burn out.
