Thank you, Doctor. I have recently developed olecranon bursitis apparently due to improper posture while typing all day. I didn't know what was happening and due to the grotesque appearance of the swollen elbow, I rushed to the ER. I was afraid that I would throw a clot and have a stroke, etc. I am thankful for the information that you presented. I actually was given little information about the nature of my bursitis and your video has proven to be quite informative to me. Thanks for this helpful video.
My neighbor has an infected olecranon bursitis that resulted from an infected hair follicle on the elbow. He is on his 3rd week of antibiotics and is slowly improving with almost no swelling or pain but he said it's a slow process. Great video and I forwarded it to him so he can better understand what's going on with his elbow.
Lithe Lassie, you are right! Last night it showed up, out from the blue, I went to doctor today, but his opinion was to let it be and if it will be painful then take it to next step. Exactly as you say Long Live Internet. Thank you also Mr Randal for uploading this video
Excellent presentation chaps, thank you, I'm currently having treatment and off work due to an infected BURSA on my elbow, It's extremely uncomfortable and it's going to a good few weeks until it's better.
Thank you so much for this video! My husband had an infected olecranon bursitis last week. It started draining, We and he was put on cephalexin. Don't know what the next steps are going to be, but this video was very informative. Once again...thanks!
So good gentlemen I just came down with this about 3 days ago & its really sore and red. My wife did pop the pimple on my elbow & treated it with antibiotic cream helped some. After listening to this I'm going to the Doctor next week . Very greatful to you both.
thanks for this good info that answered my questions. Urgent care did everything except inject steroid. Referred me to ortho, but as culture confirmed that it is not infected, I will wait to see if symptoms resolve with compression, ice, elevation and will watch for symptoms of infection--fever, pain, redness, warmth, drainage, swelling . . .and my cervical pillow is perfect for relieving chronic elbow pressure.
I had my elbow inflamed with bursitis for about 6 weeks, I had to go to the orthopedic and my elbow was drained and injected with steroids so am doing better.. uncomfortable pain when am in bed... thanks for sharing this information..
My bursitis has finally healed after 6 weeks of agony. I had to be admitted into the hospital for 4 days in order Eder to get IV antibiotics into my system. My biggest concern is if the bursa sac will grow back.
I have no pain-I think I smacked in doorway - Dryer door. It’s swollen good Ordered a elbow compression. I’m not wanting a needle unless absolutely necessary. Other channels say once drained raises chances of infection?
Currently in the hospital for this and the Dr don't know what it is I feel like they don't care I'm in agonizing pain and because it's not swollen the Dr won't do anything about it like drain it or do surgery they took a sample of the fluid and because it's not infected they told me to just leave it and deal with the pain the pain is constantly at a 9 and swollen im more mad because my Dr aren't doing jack to help me and acting like if they drain the fluid it'll be dangerous
helpful. I just had it drained last night at the ER. It came on suddenly, and having researched it online I did not wait to wait to have it evaluated. Awaiting results to see it there was infection or gout. Internet is excellent for patients to better understand their symptoms and to seek prompt and appropriate medical care. I have discomfort now that I didn't have before aspiration; at this point I attribute it to the 18 gauge needle stick which made my elbow joint very sore.
I'm currently on my 2nd bursitis elbow lump on the same elbow. This one has become sceptic and hurts bad, unlike the 1st one which was a painless lump. Currently on antibiotics and prescribed anti inflammatories. This interview was very informative and put my mind at rest with this 2nd bursitis injury. I do feel like I know more about the injury and will opt for a operation, if suggested by the doctor. Appreciate the information. Thanks.
@@infiniteg7852 it was sensitive to the touch. A very similar feeling to getting a bee sting, hurt when touched. I had to be admitted into hospital. They inserted a PIC line under my left bicep which administered antibiotics more directly to my elbow. Drs think I may have been bitten by something. Go to the Drs if pain persist. Don't wait like I did.
@@Samoan1974 oh damn . Well my pain subsided and the bump went down , but the redness seemed to spread 🤔.. I went to the doctor , but they said it doesn’t look infected .. but I don’t trust it
@@infiniteg7852I don’t know how you are doing now but I had an ER doctor tell me mine wasn’t infected but 8 hours later, my hand was swollen 3 times the normal size and my elbow was hanging down. I was immediately admitted for IV antibiotics before I lost my arm.
never noticed any discomfort until 2 days ago and now i can't bend my arm. i figure its bursitis because i have a new computer chair and rest my upper body on my elbow for 12 hours a day. i don't want to leave my house so im gonna ride this out and see what happens.
@@steezbird turns out it was bursitis. i once cracked my finger on a woodsplitter and a week later my elbow was swollen and i couldnt move it. so i went into the doctor and he diagnosed me with bursitis and gave me antibiotics. now its been about 2 years and every once in a while my elbow swells up just like before but when i see the doctor he says im just overusing it.
I have a located bursa that they can no longer drain because it seems walled off. I've had it for three months after a total shoulder replacement that became infected. The Drs are moving slowly on it. They never had it tested for infection but just got back abnormal RBC too many to count (over 600) Clarity is abnormal and mostly appears to be blood vs synovial fluid. I'll be getting more aggressive with my Dr tomorrow. No signs of crystals/gout.
Please help me someone I’m going through this as I type I’m excruciating pain I can’t move my left arm due to my gout attack what can I do to ease this excruciating pain 😢😢😢😢😢
I got bursitis on my elbow and the doctor told me to take a few anti inflammatory pills and see what happens. 2 weeks later I have a swelling and the fluid has spread to my forearm and elbow. I asked them to drain, but the doctor said no. Blood sample was taken and there was no signs of infection. However, the part of the arm below the elbow is like a foam pillow where if I press for a few seconds it leaves a big print into all the way to the bone. What should I do now that the fluid is spread out and no longer only in the elbow? Best regards from Sweden Mike

Very informative thanks
Great information.
Very helpful!
How long did the wrap take to get results? Can you tell me more about the process please? Thanks
What do you do if the infection persist for more than 3 months and leakage is still there?
What the difference between bursitis and strained tendons or ligaments? I believe this happened while I was painting the ceiling! 3rd week now .

How can you tell if it’s infected ? Mine is red all around it
