I have chronic bursitis of the left hip in an area called the greater trocanter.I have been receiving shots over the last few years with some relief,but the orthopedic Dr. said I should consider having a bursectomy,Furious in other words more surgery!!!I already have adhesive arachnoiditis and the pain moves around.This trocanteric bursitis is one of the worst burning pain problems I have.Has anyone in the forum had a bursectomy? Peace,Nicoletti...

i also have bursitis in my right hip, greater trocanter.  i have had several SI shots as well and have pain maintance for that and a leaking disk i have been dealing with both of these isssues for a year as well as a fallen arch and left ankle that caves in with every step.  I am looking into a disk replacement and would also like info on this bursectomy.  I prefer to hear from actual patients rather then docs right now.  i have options from doctors already.  they all so do it- so let me know what it is like after, what is a reasonable expectation?
