Hi, quick post. My mum is 53, she has arthritis, and a dodgy knee. Two days ago, she bent down and all of a sudden she couldn't move her elbow, and was in pain. It looked like a bump came up, slightly swollen and very sore, she was in a lot of pain. Went doctors Thursday, and he basically said it was to do with the arthritis and gave her anti inflammatories, but their doing nothing to help her.
It's a bit worse today, its a little more swollen and looks sore, she can't move it much, only to a certain degree, and all I could find online was Bursitis, would it be that?
She said she will go the hospital in the morning, but I am pulling my hair out with constant worry, and I was feeling sick today too, and now this has me stressed as well, as I don't like seeing her in any pain.
Anyway, she has a numbing pad on it, and some ice as well, to help with the pain and swelling, but I am worrying if it is an infection as I read online about Septic bursitis? Would it be that, or is it just bursitis related to the arthritis? It is what the doctor said on Thursday.
Sorry, I just need to talk to someone about it and ask.
