A member asked:
Should i be concerned about swollen right elbow. no pain but a pouch that is golf ball sized & filled with fluid? perhaps a result of spider bite?

Olecronon Bursitis: This sounds like olecronon bursitis. It can be caused by trauma infection arthritis or other causes. It is usually benign. A doctor can drain it and send the fluid for analysis. It may recur. See your doctor for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.
