Does a bursa grow back after you get it surgically removed?

[Doomsday]

When I had my distal clavicle resection on May 7, 2007, my doc removed my shoulder bursa because it was inflammed.

Does anyone know if the shoulder bursa grows back when you get it surgically removed? Or does scar tissue replace the shoulder bursa? How long does it take for the shoulder bursa (or scar tissue replacing the shoulder bursa) to grow back? And if scar tissue replaces the shoulder bursa, is it just as good?

i had the bursa in my shoulder removed as well... doctor said it will regenerate on its own. i didn't think to ask him how long, but if he isn't worried about it then i don't think i should be either.

I am 6 1/2 weeks post op for my distal clavicle resection. I still feel discomfort when I rub my fingers into the area of the AC joint that was cut off. It is very tender to the touch when I rub and massage the area of the clavicle that was cut off. Is this normal for 6 1/2 weeks post op?
