What Causes Development Of Fluid On The Left Elbow?
I am a 69 year old male and for the past 2-3 weeks have developed fluid on my left elbow. I do not remember injuring the elbow and it really does not hurt. It is very similar to when I had fluid on my knee after arthroscopic knee surgery last year.
