Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the bursa, a thin fluid-filled sac at the tip of the elbow, becomes irritated or inflamed.

There are various incidents and conditions that can cause elbow bursitis, including infection, prolonged pressure, or a traumatic blow to the tip of the elbow.

In most cases, elbow bursitis leads to swelling, redness, and pain that worsens when direct pressure is applied to the affected area.
