A member asked:
Is it good for me to remove my bursitis surgically? or is it better to rest and take nasids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Location.: Bursitis can occur in many locations ( knee, hip, shoulders, etc). Generally a conservative approach ( therapy, nsaids, bracing) is always tried before surgery.
