Brief Answer:
They can recur

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Yes, the deposits are due to degenerative changes and so they are likely to occur again, though not necessarily at the same place.

Physical therapy and muscle strengthening exercises form the primary mode of treatment. Hot compress and ultrasound therapy would provide relief.

Hope that helps.
