2BNTV- No the surgery was outpatient (in and out within a3 hours) and I was on crutches for 24 hours. Staples were removed in a week. My bursitis was on the outside of the hip and the pain radiated down to my knee. It was incredibly painful if I rolled over on it while sleeping. If the next cortisone shot doesn't do the trick I would definitely see a orthopedic surgeon. A friend of mine had the same problem and had their bursae removed (that is how I learned about a bursaectomy). Is your bursitis from an injury? Mine was caused from a car accident (the seat belt connects right over the bursae). If you would like any other information please pm me. Don't want to bore everyone else with the details.
