It appears I currently have it. Has your swelling went down? If so how long did it take?

I developed Bursitis on my elbow around 3-4 weeks ago. No pain initially, and only minor discomfort now. (not sure why that is) Since day one, I have worn a compression arm bandage 24/7, and its size has now reduced around 75%. Be careful not to compress too tight. I have 3, arm compression sleeves, of varying tensions, the looser fitting one, I use only at at night while sleeping, to avoid cutting off blood circulation, when elbow is bent, during sleep. Having 3 also helps, when after a few days, it's needing to be washed, for hygiene purposes. The compression sleeve is only removed, when showering. Also been rubbing in CBD cream, morning and night. I will mention, that I do not, put any faith in mainstream doctors, AT ALL, due to past experience. To date, I haven’t used ice packs, but may add this, to my self treatment program over the next coming days. I'm aiming for a recovery of around 6 weeks, in total........Watch this space !

I wasn't aware of it until my daughter alerted me last week, thanks for the video ❤

Super useful. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why I got it. After watching your video David I just had a Columbo moment (!) . I realised that my OB appeared a week after deciding to work from the coffee table for the past 3 weeks (to change the routine of working at my desk for the past year). I just now i realised that while doing that I spent hours resting my head on my left hand with my left elbow digging into my left leg for support. Must be how I got that mini boob on my elbow! Thanks

Thanks Man U made me feel normal about this and love the Liverpool in the background “you will never walk alone”

I got this over a year ago. I was not sitting at a desk, neither was my elbow resting anywhere. I took moringa after some research and after two weeks I noticed it was half its size. Within a month it was almost gone. I just looked at my elbow some time after that and it was not there anymore. Same swelling around my ankles and knee also went. Moringa is really good. I have been on it for one year. I bought it for arthritis and was really surprised and happy when it removed that thing from my elbow and the other joints. Thanks moringa.

The doctor I went to said if the fluid he drained was clear or had a yellow tent it may be infected. The stuff he drained from me was a light red or pink.

I have had mine ( elbow ) drained twice. First time by a doctor and he did put a cortisone injection in it . It was blood that had come out. The sac filled back up again within a month so my daughter who is a nurse drained it and it was blood again. Do I need to see a surgeon to have the bursa sac removed or just keep draining it ?

I have it. It's swelled now due to gardening and maybe an insect bite. It's red and a little itchy, about the size of a ping pong ball. I wear a sleeve, but I'm always torn whether to ice or to apply heat. I've heard different takes. It's not painful, but I am self-conscience by how it looks.

Mine was all red and swollen and I did the ice treatment. The fluid inside then leak out after I knocked it on a sharp edge. After several weeks it healed up nicely.

Oh man im so so in pain. Hope is gonna go faster. I just wake up today , couldnt take my baby in my arms. So so nasty pain burning it doesnt go away. After 12 hours range of motion is higlhy limited. Hope is gonna faster

I've gotten it on my knee a couple times and I currently have it on my elbow ...but I'm on the 2nd week of it and it has gone away mostly just by compressing it with a bandage and icing it and ibuprofen and cbd cream...at first it's so painful but then it goes away on its own...idk of glucosamine pills will help since it's not the bone or joint

Hi Sir, I’ve elbow pain since last 2 years. It goes away and come back and I noticed I can’t straighten my elbow and whenever I tried to open and it’s starts paining but it doesn’t hurt while working and only hurts during jerks or bowling and throw. Can u please help me out.

I got bitten by an insect on the elbow about a week ago, scratched it overnight until it bled. Slowly my elbow started to expand become really painful. My Dr said it was either the bug bite, the scratching, starting back at the gym(we have been locked down due to covid!) or a combination of all of the above that led to bursitis. Its been with me for a week now and seems to be settling down. Being totally honest I'm just self conscious of how it looks. Its not the worst thing that could happen to you.

I had what I think is a similar experience. I am a 65-y/o engineer in pretty good physical condition who works long hours at a desk leaning on my elbow on a chair arm rest. One day, I worked in a very old building attic. That night, it had swollen to about tennis ball size and very painful for about 3 days. I figured I got bitten by a Black Widow spider in that old attic. Swelling went down after 2 or 3 days. Redness spread from my elbow towards my wrist. No swelling of lymph nodes. Full-blown redness and swelling from elbow to knuckles. Appeared to be cellulitis. Lasted close to a week. Receded to local redness on elbow, about golf ball size. I was drinking MMS (sodium chloride) and rubbing some directly on the wound. Puss began oozing and forming a scab. Profuse and rapid oozing for a few days. Very sore and sensitive to touch. Wound closed up after about a week and became pink and not as sensitive. But no improvement over the next week or two. About a week ago (last week of August), I had pretty severe flu symptoms with sinus and lungs discharge. Flu symptoms continuing through today. I lapsed on my MMS treatments to alternate high-dose Vitamin C with the MMS treatments. I also had a job where I had to crawl on concrete and banged the elbow several times. The elbow flared up again. Redness began to spread. After more MMS treatment, redness receded to just the elbow. It was acutely painful, very red, with puss emitting. Now (2 months after onset), I am back to a big sore on the elbow with a half-dollar size puss pocket with some pain and weakness at the extremes of the range of movement. After doing some more research, I am going to try some calcium gluconate. I have an appointment with my naturopath in a couple of days.

Thank you for your help 😊

hello i fell one time on a rock that gave me also 2 stiches and after that it kept swelling non stop. i went to an othopedic twice and he withraw the liquid with a syringe. But my problem is that now my elbow keeps loosing liquid and i have to wrap it. What do you suggest i should do?

Got really big "Popyes elbow" from resting elbow on new office chair. Looked pretty inflammated. Got antibiotics and anti infalmmatory medication. Also wrapped it to compression bandage with antiseptic liquid twice a day. After one week bought compression bracelet that is easier to put on than wrapping it and I can also use it in work to protect the tip of the elbow. its ok now 1.5 weeks maybe start exercising lower body in the gym next week.

Thanks doc!!! I'm a 17 year paramedic currently working offshore. I had this olecranon bursitis pop up on my left elbow. Too much "propping up on my elbows" in front of my computer.

I am a goalkeeper,after training I realised my elbow joint has swelled, and it was painful too. With my what advice will you give me?

My Dr told me that it's from my shoulder replacement surgery that left me arm in a sling and resting on surfaces (mainly the arms of my chair). Surprising that such little pressure could add insult to my injury (surgery).

So I bumped my elbow. It swelled up like a softball. Dr. Tried to drain the bersa but got nothing. I'm going on 2 weeks with pain on the top of forearm and I have a 15 inch bruise on the inside of my arm. Any ideas?

I have and i dont what to do with it although i have took medicines but no positive result.

This has just started bothering my elbow. I'm 63 and I do deliveries. What I noticed is that I automatically use my right elbow, when my hands are full, to close the door of my car. I think that is what has caused an injury.

Oh no...I think I have this. My elbow is in pain and is warm/hot to the touch. I took one Aleve tonight and tomorrow will get a bandage to wrap it upon. I didn’t bank my elbow but I do work all day on a computer. I’m a very young 60 year old and do nog have any other health problems.

I’ve had tenderness swollen elbow for a few years but last week I bumped my elbow and it swelled up and is still bruised all around the area. It feels like little pieces of broken glass under my skin only when I rest my elbow on a table I still have full movement of elbow what should I do. Not painful at all

Swelled up on and off year had Cortizone and also had it drained Now is infected from the draining process and has been three months healing still no better with a big ulcer on my elbow still on antibiotics hopefully healed soon frustrated as I am a dairy farmer and carving season is coming up so have to employ somebody. Hope everyone gets through it in the end!

I' have this condition on my left elbow..I've had it drained and it keeps coming back...I'm scheduled to have it removed next week..I'm wondering if you can tell me how long before I can lift weights again after surgery..I hear the surgery is minor

I have a swolen elbow, gp thinks is bursitis. The bad part is I am after 2 years of stage 3 A breast cancer treatments and with several surgeries ( tumorectomy, lumpectomy, reconstructin, symetrization...). Should I be worried? GP said I might go straight for the surgery, because is a daily hospital....? I know I must check it with an Orthopaedic.

I got this from a fall on my right elbow. It swelled up pretty good. I used a Elbow Brace Compression Support Sleeve that I saw on KZread. My doctor said to wait 2 weeks until I see him for a physical. It took about two weeks for the swelling to go down, but I still have loose skin where the swelling occurred. I will be seeing the doctor this week.

I went to a walk in clinic when mine became red and harder versus watery. 2.5 months after I popped my elbow on a wall. They said they wouldn't touch it... Referred me to Ortho. Appointment made for 9 days from now. I figure I'll either heal it or it'll with rest it need surgery at this point. So much for caring health care

I'm sure DIY surgery is frowned on, but this seems like something I could do at home...swab the area and use a sterile lancet. Do we really even need a syringe? Would one of those safety lancets typically used to draw blood on fingers go deep enough to puncture the bursa? I could then just squeeze out the fluid before applying a compression bandage. If I have to use a surgical lancet, just go in from the side so I don't risk doing damage correct? Anything else important to know?

However, now I seem to have extra tissue in there that kind of bothers me... Hasn't gone away in 2 months. Really want it out. Is surgery the only way?

I have the same thing, it is so look ooo painful

Woke up this morning with a slightly inflammed and red elbow along with pain. Am trying to diagnose the symptoms but my guess is this, olecranon bursitis. My concern is that mine appears to be immediately infected as opposed to many others with just inflamation and no major red skin. I'l be monitoring it to see how it progresses... it has only been about 5 hours since I woke up.

I notice that your elbows are kinda pointy, is that do to a calcium growth ? I don't think my pointing elbow are from swelling with fluid because it feels hard.

Mine might be an infection coz it'spainful, I used a mat at the gym, was doing elbow plank. So I think the mat was dirty or used by someone with the infection. Please help

Bmx and skateboarding over the past 3 years have resulted in many elbow knocks... I had a random bursa infection and started hitting it before it healed, now it won't go away. It's less on the back of the elbow and more running up the forearm - it's very hard under the bursa, it feels like calcification. Light compression feels very comfortable. I'm going to try icing it every couple of hours after I hit it, and every night when it's healing up. I just want to know what sort of a role exercise can play, and if there are any other treatments I can deploy...

Just noticed the swelling and fluid on my elbow today. It was painful to the touch this past week. Did not hurt to move it. It just hurt when it was touched. Icing it now.

Same here, just a slight brush of clothing can cause pain but not actual movement

I think I have this now I started a new work out routine that focused on curls,db rows. When I tried to do a pull up and then my elbow gave out. Today its swollen and I'm just resting it. I'll def switch up the exercise next go around

Can u suggest me some medicine for this

I watched this video as I have pain in left elbow for 7 month now. It started hurting after we moved house... But my elbow doesn't look anything like pictures of Olecranon bursitis. It hurts where muscles connect the bone in elbow. 2 weeks of naproxen prescribed by doctor was pointless... Now movement in elbow restricted... Can't put any pressure on it as it is insanely painful.

Did u get rid of that pain

Can anyone help me out with this unfortunately I have bursitis in both of my elbows worst feeling ever!!!! Thankfully both of them aren't huge but I noticed that I have swelling in both tips of my elbows. Thankfully I went to the doctor and started doing physical therapy and have been doing my exercises constantly 4 times a week praying this works!

I came back from Miami a couple weeks ago. The airplane ride is what aggravated my elbows as the arm rests are very soft and have lots of cushion. No enlarging directly after the flight. Happened the following day... My elbow was feeling real sore and after coming back from the store when I was eating dinner.... Oh man. My son said, "Oh my gosh!" I was also taken aback as it looked like my elbow was melting off. Sure enough it was olecranon bursitis. I took 600mg Motrin and wrapped it with a regular Ace type bandage, not tight but just snug for cushion. I would say 5 hours later the swelling went down by 60% by the next morning 85% now it's pretty much gone but I do feel the sack in my elbow... Stretched out from the fluid buildup.

@@DrDavidGeier hi thanks for the informative video , could you passably elaborate on "600mg Motrin" how it compares with the other treatments ?

I don't have the swelling but it is very painful to the touch and even certain movements!! Any thoughts because I'm fixing to schedule an appointment.

Ice packs and I ibuprofen

I was diagnosed with it today . Do I need to put ice and heat? Or just ice?

I have on now and that why I'm here I have a pain level of 4 remind you I can tolerate pain so maybe it might be a 7 what do I do now

I have a persistent bruising sensation in my right elbow. It's not swollen in any way, so I doubt it's this. But I'll occasionally go to lean on my elbow on something, it doesn't have to be a hard surface as it just happened on my foam mattress, and I'll get this tender bruised type of pain. At first I thought I did it training or something but it's been showing up randomly for several months now. What is this?

You need to never lean on them They are not for that even with a pad

I'm not an athlete, but I am an artist. I draw for hours on end and I put pressure on my left elbow. I recently got these symptons and started taking some Aleve and tried keeping the pressure off. It went down a lot but had a little left in it. Well I actually discovered today that it swelled up again. What steps should I take? I don't want to see a doctor for something that seems very mundane. It doesn't hurt at all, it's just swollen.

I have the same issue!! Don’t know what to do :///

Like a doofus I was out riding wheely's on my beach cruiser and rode right over onto my back. I banged my elbow pretty good. My kids enjoyed the heck out of it and reminded me that I'm too old for shenanigans. About 30 minutes later, boom I got this yuge swelling. Ill ice and wrap it, hopefully it goes down quick. Thanks for the video.

I started to get it when I started the sport of armwrestling

I have it now, as well. I hit my elbow several weeks ago and now have a golf ball, filled with fluid, on my elbow. There is no point in my elbow any longer but it doesnt hurt. It is tender and I wrap it often. Sometimes ice.

Man I actually slipped in the shower today and hit my elbow. I had it before when my little brother punched me so it feels like it came back

Ive had it for three days now how ling does it last

been having it left and right, currently left side. No increased pain that I know of... Really weird

I have this RN and it's annoying pain kinda not unbearable but annoying and it randomly occurred after warehouse lifting boxes all day

I have this condition now. It appeared from nowhere 1 week ago, possibly overdid it on the Rowing Machine in the gym, but absolutely no recall of hurting or straining my elbow? It's slightly larger than a golf ball, and is currently sore and swollen with fluid. I've watched YT vids of a simple aspiration to drain the fluid. Hope this works for me!
