should i do the surgery or ask for a cortisone shot and hope it goes away?
i have bursitis in my hip and knee at age 14 but the bursa sac completely exploded and they wanna do surgery on my knee in 4 weeks. i have to go to jo DiMaggio’s in 4 weeks to see if were gonna go through with the surgery. even though the bursa sac exploded would a cortisone shot help?.. or am i gonna def have to get the surgery. i have a hole in my knee from the bursa sac exploding. i keep getting more lumps and it keeps getting more swolen. what should i do? ive been wearing a brace and keeping it elevated. ive been taking anti-inflammitory medicine and putting ice on it. but it leeps getting worse. should i go through with the surgery?

You could ask the doctor if he thinks a shot would help. Sometimes shots help. How long it would last I don’t know. I personally think you’re looking at surgery.
I think you need the surgery…I also think you need to keep off that bad knee as using it will harm any healing that may be trying to happen. I believe its too late for a shot/cortisone to help your burst bursa. You are young so I think you will heal well and be back to regular activity before too long.
