Elbow bursitis often improves with rest, medication, or fluid drainage—but in more severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Signs you may need surgical treatment include persistent swelling, pain that doesn't improve with conservative care, recurrent fluid buildup, or infection impacting elbow function. When surgery is recommended, recovery typically involves a short period of immobilization followed by gradual motion and rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility. If elbow swelling or pain is interfering with your daily life, schedule a consultation with us at Mirza Orthopedics to discuss the right treatment path for you.
