So noobfest was 3 weeks ago, but today this huge bump shows up on my left elbow.

It's been a little tender for a couple of days, feeling like a bruise or something very shallow. I had a tiny scab on it from scraping a canyon wall, but that's the only thing I can think of.

I don't remember bumping it or anything, but I wonder if I hit it at noobfest, and maybe it's finally festering up? I wonder if I even cracked something.

It is very sore and tender now.

Compare my right and left.

I'm just curious if anybody thinks I actually cracked or chipped my elbow 3 weeks ago, and it's finally starting to show symptoms?

I guess it's not quite a canyoneering topic, but....

No one told you of all the gross things in the water when you go canyoneering. I hope you got your shots or things are going to be growing all over your body!!! :eek2:

Looks like you might have a bone chip that has gotten between the bones. I had that happen two years from a break almost 20 years previously. Mine was the size of a small orange.

It will go away but can return at the most inopertune time.

I thought your wife is a nurse? :nod:

Is she not giving you the TLC you need? :ne_nau:

No red flags 'Beech', but almost 16 years ago after a trip through Heaps I had a large, very tender bump on my left hip. Soon I felt symptoms of a very severe flu. Went to my family doctor to get some help, and they said that they could make an appointment for next week. I said "You don't understand! I need help right now!"...well to make a long story short...I went to the ER and was into surgery within 1 hour of arriving so that they could remove a very deep "infection" and spent 4 days in the hospital enjoying penecillin IV and 2 times a day in a sitz bath with an open hip wound.

May I suggest that if you start feeling "ill", go to the doc immediately!

My wife informs me it is Olecranon Bursitis.

Did she elaborate on what in the heck that is? :popcorn:

It basically means, swelling of the elbow.

To which I responded, "I believe I already knew that."

Luckily, she didn't charge me a co-pay.
