Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
About a month ago I fell off the back of a truck hooking up a boat (I know sounds crazy) and hit my elbow really hard. In about a week I had this big squishy not on the end of my elbow. I looked up pictures and my elbow looked just like those of a bursa sac that had been busted so I was waiting to see my doctor he is out until the middle of this week. BUT.....we went to the lake last week and I hit my elbow and that sac busted cause now my elbow is normal size but very touchy. Will I have an elbow that is going to quit moving because of this. Right now my movement is fine just hurts when touched but someone said I would be getting a catch in it and it would not straighten all the way. Any truth to this or will I need surgery to fix my broken sac?
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that if it is just bursitis it will heal on its own but in case there is a fracture it will require surgery .
Take care.
Dr. Shruti
