Why Is My Inner Elbow Swollen?
I have slight swelling in the crease of my arm where my elbow bends oin my left arm. It is not painful there, but my arm as been hurting slightly in my forearm and in my shoulder. I don t think it s heart related because I recently went to a cardiologist who did a stress test, heart calcium score test, and several EKG s and said everything was good. Just worried it may be a clot or something. It s a little red too and hard.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Elbow bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa located over the pointy part of the elbow bone.
I suggest using Acetominophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest cold compresses for local application.
I suggest to maintain the area elevated and rest.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
