It seems as if when there is discussion about painful joints there are all kinds of articles and lots of information about knees and hips…but what about elbow joint pain? There are many reasons why an elbow may be painful that go beyond “tennis elbow.” One of the more common problems is elbow bursitis.
Elbow bursitis is a condition in which fluid collects in a sac located in the elbow joint. In order to be able to understand how this works it is important to understand the anatomy of an elbow. Bursa is tissue that is described as also being similar to a fluid-filled sac. When functioning properly, the joint moves freely and smoothly with the help of this tissue. With elbow bursitis the joint is inflamed and a separate sac forms and inhibits the movement of the elbow joint. This sac of fluid forms behind the elbow and brings pain and swelling with it.
Many people wonder how they ever got elbow bursitis while others can point to a specific moment in time. It is possible to injure your elbow; many find they have problems after a fall. Surprisingly, even if you are a person who likes to rest your elbows on the table or any other hard surface, things may become worse. For these people, swelling can become a real problem. If you have elbow joint pain caused by bursitis, make a conscience effort to avoid putting that stress on your elbow joint.
There are three main things your doctor will check for in order to determine if you have elbow bursitis. The first give away would be pain around the back of the elbow. Second, your doctor will check for swelling directly over the bony section of the tip of the elbow. Finally, the elbow joint will not be able to move through its full range of motion. Together, all of these symptoms point to a classic case of elbow bursitis, and that means elbow joint pain. Keep in mind that bursitis is not the only cause of elbow pain, and that’s why a trip to the doctor for diagnosis assistance is the right thing to do. Do not be surprised if your doctor wants to take an x-ray as this can help to ensure that nothing is being missed.
If you have any other symptoms it is important to see your doctor right away. Things to look out for are fever, chills, sweats and redness. These can be signs of elbow bursitis that has developed into an infection.
There are excellent ways to treat elbow bursitis. Obviously, if you have an infection and an antibiotic is needed, be sure to take the entire prescription. This helps to lessen the chances of developing another, stronger infection. Look into taking a joint supplement, such as one that contains cetylated fatty acids. These supplements are available in pill or cream form and have been shown to be able to lessen pain, as well as inflammation in the joints. With proper care and treatment you should be feeling better quickly.
