What Is Bursitis and How Is It Going to Affect My Elbow?

Question by Mikki: What is bursitis and how is it going to affect my elbow?
My mom is sure that because my elbow has been cracking a lot recently I must have bursitis. She won’t explain what it is, if it’s degenerative, and how I can treat it, and I’d like to know because I use my elbow a lot.
I’m 17, and I don’t think I have bursitis, my mom does.

its a inflamattion inside the joint. Ice it

Answer by W C
You are most likely to young to have Bursitis… Bursitis is an inflamation of the Bursa sack in the elbow joint… now commonly called tennis elbow… more than likely your “creaking” is do to your growing… you neglected to state how old you were. Treatments are done with steroids like Cortisone or one of the homeopathic preperations such as shark cartlege. The trouble with steroids is they dry up the fluid in the joint… that releives the discomfort for awhile. but it doesn’t take care of the condition. The idea is to lubricate the joint with additions to you diet. Check with a nutritional shop or a health food store.
