Good morning squad,back in august you gave me information on a "Olecranon Bursa" on my wife's elbow.
After 2 weeks and cold compresses the Bursa had not reduced so she saw her Dr. who said "no problem it will eventually go away on it's own.
After a few weeks and no change she went on Tuesday to see her Dr. again and asked him to drain it,this he did and then bandaged it tightly,which was to remain on 24hours.He also told her that it will probably come back.
How right he was for within a couple of hours of removing the bandage the Bursa was full blown.
If the Bursa will disappear on it's own what in your opinion is the time laps,weeks or months.
Many thanks
Dennis

Bad luck dennis....if it hasn't disappeared within 4 weeks (which i don't think it will) then go back to your GP as it almost certainly need excision by an Orthopaedic surgeon.

Thanks for the feedback as it is much appreciated.
