Student's Elbow

Is your elbow is considered as student's elbow? How can a cleaner's elbow be a student's elbow? Anyway, what on Earth student's elbow is? Why my elbow is not a student's elbow,though I'm a hardcore med student? (heh.)

Well, minna (Japanese: people)... student's elbow is not just an elbow, literally. It's a diagnosis, a disease. It is also known as olecranon bursitis; an inflammation of bursa (a fluid filled sac or saclike cavity - not that 'bursa' saham) which surrounds olecranon ( a bony projection of ulnar bone at the elbow). Now, do you understand?

How does it happen?
It occurs when a 'VERY HARDWORKING, DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO EXCEPT STUDYING STUDENT' studying for a long time and resting his/her head in his hand and his/her elbow on the table. Thus, due to prolonged pressure over the olecranon bursa, an inflammation occurs.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), it rarely happens today. May be, it's hard to find a very dedicated student nowadays or studying posture has changed over the past years.

What are other signs?
We may see typical signs for inflammation (swelling, redness, pain, increased temperature, movement restriction) locally on the elbow.

How to treat? (Q for doctors/surgeons)
-aspiration
-antibiotic
-surgical excision (sometimes)

p/s: dont be upset if your elbow is not a student's elbow. Haha
