I started working at the gas station, and have an previous injury flare up. I have thrown out my shoulder lots, and have tendonitis and bursitis in it. From washing so many windshields my shoulder hurts real bad from only 40 hours of work. Is there anything i can do or maybe the doc can or is this just not the job for me?

I would have to say that windshield washing will never again be your forte`!
See a chiropractor for the tendonitis; it is very possible that he/she could readjust the inflamed area.
But I still would not encourage continuous exacerbation of this area.

It is a repitative shoulder strain injury. Common in grocery store clerks also because of the scanning of products. Go back to school and get training for something not requiring a repitative. Be a doctor, a fireman, an accountant, a pr rep.

For the time being this may not be the proper job for you.
You need physiotherapy and and ortho-consultation.
Take care of you health...change the job after consultation with the doc.

This is not the job for you. This is not going to get better, and, I believe it will get worse because you are continuing to use the joints that cannot take that sort of motion. I'm sure there is something else out there for you.
