Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a bursitis which is an inflammation of the bursa. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation of the bursa. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
