What Might The Discomfort In The Joints Of Shoulders, Arthritis Or Bursitis?

I have discomfort in the joints of my shoulders. Lately It seems to be getting worse. At first I thought it was because I sleep on my side. I'm wondering if it might be arthritis or bursitis. It affects my sleep tossing side to side. Raising my arms make it ache more. What might it be? This has been going on for some time but lately its worse.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.
Your problem seems to be that of arthritis, as bursitis occurring in both sides is unusual.
Kindly get Xray done first along with a complete arthritis panel.
Tablet XXXX 500 mg twice daily will help for the time being.
