[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 440124, member: 1683"] - dun, pdfangus and others-- cortisone shot in the elbow will "fix it right up" is a very cavalier and not consistently correct reply! Bursitis , literally, is defined as "irritation of a Bursa." A Bursa is a sac or pouch located between bones, or anatomical structures, containing fluid for the purpose of reducing or eliminating friction - therefore treating the SYMPTOMS of irritation and/or pain." Cortisone shots may help to temporarilly alleviate or reduce the symptoms - but will NOT eliminate the CAUSE of the irritation in the first place! A more desirable approach to the problem would be to determine the CAUSE (or etiology) of the pain, avoid the action which caused it, and then decide on a conservative method of treatment, part of which may, in fact, include a shot or two of cortisone, but no more than two before REALLY determining the actual cause and the extent of the condition. I dealt with conditions such as this for 35 years in my practice. I suggest that you don't take it lightly! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
