    I'm sure that's far too localised and you're not making enough fuss about the pain to be bursitis! I had it last year and it didnt look anything like that.

    As others have said, I'm sure it's one of those that needs a proper good whack from a bible, if you dare. Let us know how it feels, just for future reference ok

    I got bursitis in my elbow and it looked just like that. Couldn’t remember hitting it but I was a carpenter.. so who can remember all the times you smack something....It went away in a 2 weeks or so. No pain at all. Doctors treatment was OTC pain reliever/anti inflammatory, and ice

    Doc said if I get a fever or the area gets hot and red to come back cause that means infection.

    Have never had it again

    No need to ask... It's already posted about in "What if it Snows" page 39 I believe... Here's a quote:

    Check out the pics... They are pretty gnarly!

    Definetally bursitis as per the doctor... He said they sometimes dont hurt if it is a mild case... He prescribed an anti inflamitory.

    Not too many people read Dave_From_Touch-Hole's thread.

    But go see a doctor, man. Last thing that elbow needs is a bunch of WebMD's (self diagnosis specialists) trying to tell you how to fix it and how it was gotten.
