GG,
My apnea is also much worse on my back and the pressure requirements are much higher on my back. So I had to train myself to sleep on my sides and tummy. I also have aerophagia when sleeping on my sides but the aerophagia is very mild when sleeping on my tummy.
You may want to consider sleeping on your tummy to lower your pressure requirements, lessen your apnea severity, and avoid pain from the bursitis. This is assuming your bursitis is not aggravated by sleeping on your tummy.
I will include a link to tummy sleeping in the "Falcon" position. It has been stated that the Falcon position is the best position for the health of our backs. Several members, including myself, agree with this evalutaion. Here is the link - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=43663 .
In any case I urge you to commit to learning to use a full face mask effectively. Lots of member here with experience to help you.
Regards,
