How long it takes for the patient to recover depends on several factors. For example, the area of injury, the type of treatment and the course of treatment. Some people heal just by resting the affected area for a few weeks, while others need up to 6 to 12 months of treatment. In fact, if after this time the area does not improve, surgery may be necessary.
In these severe cases, the post-operative recovery time may be even longer. It depends on whether the patient has other degenerative diseases that affect the condition or is strictly following the treatment and therapies. If so, the evolution of bursitis has high remission rates.
