Wonder if anyone has been thru or heard of this type of an issue?
I’ve been doing yoga pretty regularly for about a year. About 1 month ago after getting out of the shower I noticed my left elbow was swollen- Went to the Dr and they say it’s Olecranon Bursistis… Tried taking a few days off, Wrapping , etc nothing changed. It’s flat in the morning when I wake up and then swells during the day. Icing does not help, nor does anti inflammatory meds.
I have absolutely NO pain or anything with this-just this annoying lump!
I do yoga 3/4 x/week (hot yoga 2 of those days; otherwise non heat vinyasa flow). The only other thing I do is cycle/spin. I teach both yoga and spinning. I gave up weight training about 3 weeks back. Anyway,I have had this “lump” for at least 3 months. (saw it in some pics from March!)
Today I did nothing , just went to work and lo and behold, swollen. I am going to yoga tonite, but decided I would try NOT doing chaturanga and upward facing dog, to see if that makes any difference. So Frustrated! Going for a 2nd opinion/ first Dr I saw refuses to touch/drain it unless painful, but it has dragged on for so darn long! Would any one be able to offer some insight/advice? I would appreciate it!
