A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with elbow bursitis, and it's been 4 weeks pain and fluid is still present. would this be normal? how long does bursitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal.: If it is not infected, the bursa is aspirated and injected with cortisone. The recovery would be very fast.
