  5. it's not a bursitis bursitis hurts like hell.. extremely painful.
    but if you're going to keep on resting your elbow window sill while you're driving down the road if you don't have like a Freightliner or a KW padded area. either get one of those elbow rests or just simply after so many years you can only do it for so long I know it's not comfortable just stop off at Walmart and buy an elbow pad. that's what I have to do I started getting more and more pain as I liked it for almost 30 years resting my left elbow but it began to get more and more painful. so the best thing that I did, tried to put towel to rest it on and a little tiny travel pillow..but it kept falling off. and now just simply slip on a like a neoprene wrap and use it while I drive

    My Mother and my Aunt get that occasionally,Usually near their wrists, looks strange, but goes away, doesn’t last long. Otherwise harmless from what they’ve said.

    That's why they are referred to as bible cysts.... smack them with a bible and they go away.

    I had shoulder bursitis from carrying a lot of weight on my shoulder during a high school job. I was 18, and I think I just stopped carrying heavy weight and it quickly went away. My bursitis was very painful.
