Lani is right, it's olecranon bursitis.. it was wonderful going in with a little knowledge and not being taken by surprise. The plan is to continue to wear my sleeve as normal ( everyday) and have a recheck next Wed. We measured it, its not red and it doesn't hurt when touched. I am already on an antibiotic for a sinus infection which will end a week Fri. I was told it could take several weeks for the swelling to go down. My PT said I could go to an orthop Dr and have it looked at... but to never, no matter what any Dr. says let them stick a needle in my arm.
So my plan is to really watch it when I go off my sinus antibiotics on Fri. to make sure an infection doesn't try to set in. This should turn out just fine. Thanks everyone for being there. I am so thankful for everyone who post here and that I have a place to turn.
Hi Jennifer, If you post I will know you got the up date.. if not I will give you a call tomorrow.
Wow... I rented a movie because now I need to rest....
