What are the Most Common Symptoms of Elbow Bursitis?
Elbow bursitis symptoms include a swollen elbow joint accompanied by stiffness in the joint when trying to bend your elbow. This is due to inflammation near the elbow joint. You can also develop knee bursitis, shoulder bursitis, or hip bursitis as this ailment can affect any of your joints. The inflammation occurs in the sacs near the joints that are filled with fluid to cushion the soft tissue from the bones. These sacs are called bursae, which is where the word bursitis comes from.
