In most cases bursitis is treated with nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory medication, rest, and sometimes therapy to minimize the pain and reduce the inflammation. Surgery is rarely done, but in some cases this may be the only option to relieve chronic joint pain if all other conservative treatment measures have been exhausted. Surgical removal of the knee bursae is called a bursectomy. When the walls of the bursa sac have thickened from chronic inflammation, a bursectomy may be recommended. Removing the entire bursa is usually an easy procedure and does not normally cause any long-lasting affects. If your physician has recommended surgery, it’s not the end of the world. After a short recovery, you should be back to normal and enjoying life again.
