For the last few months, been having an issue with pain in my right shoulder, especially nearer the edges of its range of motion. Went to an ortho dr, they x-rayed and ensured me it was bursitis, not arthritis, calcium deposits, bone spurs, gout, or muscle damage. Because it was a doctor, they immediately shot it full of steroids, because drs want to prescribe and administer drugs.

That helped for a week, but two weeks later, doing moderate activity (hanging doors and blinds in a renovated room project I finished), I re-injured it.

I'm looking at treating it with a combination of CBD and DMSO, both things I keep around as general purpose home medicine. Any reason the combination would be an issue? I would be applying both topically, but not necessarily at the same time(s).

I'm hoping this will allow for healing, because I'm not prepared to sit around resting my shoulder and not getting shit done for weeks or months. Behind on enough projects already.
