About two years ago, I began experiencing bursitis around the left shoulder blade, a condition almost certainly caused by changing my mattess and pillows in such a way that my head fell below parallel while sleeping on my left side, causing strain and compression around the shoulder blade. My MD said it was definitely bursitis, but I never took cortizone shots or any other allopathic treatment.
For a full year, I used a few drops of Oil of Oregano mixed in olive or coconut oil, and spread around the affected area. (Coconut oil is more pleasant to use, IMO). This would relieve the pain and stiffness for three or more days, and provided good relief using it once or twice a week for a full year.
About a year ago I started using Arnica 30C twice a day in the wet dose to help me quit smoking on the recommendation of Joe De Livera, a successful effort. After some period of time, I noticed that the bursitis symptoms were no longer present, and I stopped applying the Oil of Oregano mixture. So, as long as I took the Arnica 30C twice per day in the wet dose, I had no noticeable bursitis. However, if I missed a day or so, I'd notice the symtoms returning.
Now, I do not take the Arnica 30C twice every day, but rather two or three days per week, depending on whether I'm noticing any symptoms. I also use Boiron's Arnica gel, usually two or three times per week. This routine keeps the symptoms in check, and I use the Arnica 30C in the wet dose and the gel as needed.
I am not a homeopath, but this has worked for me and I've also seen Arnica mentioned as a bursitis remedy, particularly for bursitis caused by some trauma, as mine almost certainly was.
Since different remedies work for different symptoms or insividuals , you might consider trying the Arnica 30C in the wet dose, the Arnica gel, and the Oil of Oregano mixture, or some combination of these.
Oil of Oregano can blister the skin if used too strong or too often, but nothing severe used a few drops at a time.

You can take both together (one after the other) alternating every three hours (2 doses of each). After a week you can stop Arnica.
When the pain goes, stop the medicines.
