HelloJulie
I have had pain in my elbow its sometimes known as bursitis or tennis elbow caused mainly
by fluid and inflamation in the elbow joint.I was given injection, a bit uncomfortable but it did
the trick,hasnt troubled me since,so good luck with it.

Hello Julie
Sorry about your painful elbow bursa. When I had one it was infected and antibiotics did the trick very quickly and it disappeared completely. My doc said that he wouldn't drain it because, chances were, it would just recur so the risks would outweigh the benefits. But it sounds as if Pat had a very positive outcome from the injection so hopefully you will too.
Really hope it helps you.

I have a bursa on my left elbow, apparently because I slouch on the couch and lean on the arm on my elbow while I surf on my laptop, so I suppose it is surfer's elbow It only really hurts if I lean on a hard surface, otherwise it is just an rubbery lump. I sometimes get them around a finger joint too but they don't last long. I've never had any problem with them so I wouldn't know what sets them off or eases them I'm afraid.
