hi jasper, a bursitis is a sack of fluid that becomes inflamed due to either trauma (could be a fall or bang or micro trauma such as recoil) or a repetitious activity (such as lifting the gun). The bursa is there to help reduce friction (you have them in lots of joints within the body). It could also indicate tendinopathy or a problem with the rotator cuff (4 muscles around the shoulder that basically keep your upper arm in the socket and help it move in certain directions).mrs having spot of bother with bursitis in shoulder . help needed please as doc says its caused by repeatative lifting of weight ( heavy gun ? or work related lifting ) some other theorists say its recoil induced . any clues . ?

I reckon your best bet would be to go and see a Physio (private might be quicker) and get them to fully assess it.Hi nick
Thanks for reply. Mrs has had two months off from shooting and lifting at work and also a cortisone injection . shoulder feeling OK but obviously would like to avoid a reacurance. As you say the cause must be identified. Any info /pointers appreciated.
Agree that shooting has probably exacerbated it so you could say that it is shooting related....Scuta
Not entirely sure its shooting related. But maybe exacerbated by it.

Many thanks.
