Managing bursitis and staying active

Hi @galamairim1 and @success101 I merged your messages into one thread. It seems like you are both facing similar circumstances - bursitis and tendonitis. I thought you would like to connect.
Here is some information on bursitis and tendonitis from Mayo Clinic.

@success101, you mention that you had "two shots". Are you referring to corticosteroid injections? It sounds like you have successfully avoided surgery by doing physical therapy and using good footwear. How far are you walking now? I look forward to the day you post a message saying that you walked 1.5 miles. I will throw confetti. 🙂
@galamairim1 How is your bursitis? Did you ever do physical therapy?
