Is Surgery Required To Repair Bursa Sacs?

My hip hit the ground very hard in an ATV accident. I had a huge bulge on my hip that my doctor thought was a large hematoma. He had a radiologist aspirate it. However, there was a tremendous amount of fluid (about 7 tubes), and it was mostly clear. The hematoma refilled in a few days, although not with the same pressure. I am now scheduled for a second aspiration and a more thorough view of the area to figure out what is damaged. One speculation is ruptured bursa sacs. If that is the case, will I need surgery to repair the bursa sacs?

hi,

why don't you try doing some small exercises within your limits of pain.

I will mention a few and hope it will help you. try doing some lower limb exercises like static quadriceps, static hamstrings, ankle toe movements and straight leg raise.

try lying down on the unaffected side and perfrom leg lifting and holding of 10-15 counts. repeat this for 10-15 times.

then proceed onto lying on your back and life the thigh up while keeping the knee straight and holding for another 10-15 counts and repeat the same for 10-15 times depending upon your capacity of pain bearing.

use icing for the surrounding area which will lead to vasoconstriction and reduce the inflammation as well.

you can try taking therapeutic ultrasound therapy from a qualified physiotherapist as well.

I wish you a spendy recovery

thank you
