Elbow

I went to see the doctor today, because my elbow is still swollen. He agreed it was bursitis, like this:

I'm going back next week, so he can drain it, with a local anaesthetic first and a steroid injection afterwards.

I think it actually works out to be three needles! I can see a Very Large Whisky coming on afterwards.

should only be 2, you can inject the steroid through the same needle that was used for aspiration.

But...if you can manage this, you should be able to then manage blood tests also ;)

As you say - although I think "if" is the operative word!
