Understanding Elbow Bursitis
What is Elbow Bursitis?
Elbow Bursitis, medically known as olecranon bursitis, is a condition where the olecranon bursa, a small fluid-filled sac located at the tip of the elbow, becomes inflamed. This sac acts as a cushion between the elbow bone and the skin, allowing smooth movement. When the bursa becomes irritated or swollen, it can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the elbow.
Common Causes
- Repetitive Motion or Pressure: Activities that involve repeated bending or leaning on the elbows, such as construction work, plumbing, or leaning on hard surfaces, can cause irritation and inflammation of the bursa.
- Injury: A direct blow to the elbow can cause trauma to the bursa, leading to swelling and inflammation.
- Infection: An infected bursa can result from a cut or wound near the elbow, causing redness, warmth, and increased pain.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation of the bursa.
- Overuse: Prolonged or repetitive elbow movements, such as during sports or manual labor, can also lead to bursitis.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Swelling: Visible swelling at the tip of the elbow, which may increase over time.
- Elbow Pain: Mild to severe pain, especially when moving or pressing on the affected area.
- Redness or Warmth: Infected bursitis may cause the skin around the elbow to become red, warm, and tender.
- Limited Mobility: Stiffness or discomfort when trying to fully extend or flex the elbow.
- Fluid Accumulation: A noticeable fluid-filled lump at the back of the elbow.
