So it looks like compaction in the wrist is what seems most likely.

I have indeed had orthopedic tests from several doctors/physical therapists. Nobody's suggested bursitis or impingement by the name, but they've all agreed that it looks like there's a rotator cuff issue and that strengthening of the muscles around the injury without actual irritation of the injury itself would be the best route to take. That and some stretching. I've certainly never been suggested any ultrasound therapy. I've only tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and the cortisone shot I mentioned earlier. Since there was no detectable inflammation in my shoulder, the cortisone was really a shot in the dark. As I've said, most of the folks around here are pretty perplexed.

Regardless, it seems like ultrasound therapy is my next option to look at for compaction in the intercarpal bones and shoulder impingement and bursitis.

Any other possibilities I should look at? I'm still happy to answer any more questions while I scout about for a chiropractor.
