What Causes Swelling On The Elbow After Doing Exercise?
Hello, i will make this short because it really isn t much of an anomaly to me and I m sure you ve answered such a question before. in short, I worked out earlier today doing cable rows, dumbbell lifts, and exercise of the sort. Afterward I felt two bulges in my left and right elbow. I just wanted to know what this particularly is, how long it usually lasts, and is it advisable to work out again the day after the next. Thankyou

Hi there.
It is possible you could be suffering from Student's elbow which causes bursitis and formation of fluid filled sacks at the back of the elbow. I advise you to get evaluated by an Orthopaedic surgeon. Apply cold compress, avoid keeping elbows on the desk or table. It may need to be aspirated or excised if confirmed. Get an ultrasound of the bulges after consulting your surgeon.
