A bunion is an enlarged bursa at the base of the big toe, swollen from rubbing of the tight or poorly fitting shoe.
Tendon sheaths are essentially elongated bursa that wraps completley around a tendon subjected to friction. Both of my shoulders suffered ruptured bursa when they were dislocated. I had surgery and then rehab at Womack with anti anti inflammatory's as well. That's gotta hurt in your hip area. I feel for ya because my shoulders suffered much the same way and it aint no day in the park. Rehab was my best bet and the docs made sure that I was doing everything they asked of me to do while not at the hospital.
Sorry to hear the news. Hope ya get well and get a chance to get back to SFAS.
Hope I'm not out of my lane here, but my experience with two shoulders being in the same condition while with the Duece stumped me from a couple of deployments that I did want to go on.
