Elbow bursitis months later...

2018-02-16 23:40:35
Hello, I had elbow bursitis in the late summer of 2017. It is now February 2018 and the pain and swelling have been gone for months. However, when I straighten my elbow, the elbow is still buffy and protrudes from maybe a quarter inch. Will this ever go away?

Along with icepack you need local Ultrasonic over inflamed bursa followed by LASER. Using an elbow guard while working will also help preventing friction.
