What Is Elbow Bursitis? Elbow bursitis , the most common type of bursitis, in an inflammation of the bursa located over your olecranon (the pointy bone at the tip of your elbow). A bursa is a slippery, fluid-filled sac that typically allows smooth movement around bony prominences, such as your elbow joint. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the sac fills with fluid. This can cause pain, redness, and noticeable swelling behind your elbow. What Causes Olecranon Bursitis? Excessive Pressure Ever experienced a painful sensation at the tip of your elbow after a long day of work? Leaning your elbow on the counter for long periods of time can irritate the bursa, resulting in bursitis.

In addition, these types of jobs can cause knee bursitis . People who work on a computer or study while resting on their elbows at a desk are also at a higher risk. Consequently, it’s no surprise that elbow bursitis has adopted several other popular names including student’s elbow, miner’s elbow, plumber’s elbow, etc. Trauma A hard blow or direct impact to your elbow could cause the bursa to swell.
