Understanding Olecranon Bursitis
Olecranon bursitis is a condition that occurs when the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the elbow joint, becomes inflamed. This often results in a painful bump on the elbow.
Symptoms
- A prominent, swollen bump on the elbow
- Pain or tenderness in the elbow, especially when bending or straightening the arm
- Difficulty moving the elbow
- Redness or warmth around the elbow
