Inflammation of the olecranon bursa, the bursa at the tip of the elbow is called the olecranon bursitis. This article is about a frustrating bout I had with Bursitis on both of my elbows. The inflammation was easy for me to solve as you will see below but the swelling was a whole other matter. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery.

Webster's New World Medical Dictionary (bursitis definition) Bursitis, elbow.

Treatment of non infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. A bursa is a fluid filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. What I did to Treat My Bursa I am going to keep this article simple and to the point. Herbs will always work, you just need to find the right combination and technique for the problem you have and apply it consistently. It took a technique I invented a long time ago to solve the swelling problem which worked excellently.

There are 160 bursae in the body.
