Studying medicine sir, and my teacher who is really good in his subject, personally told the whole class to watch your lectures for better understanding.
YOU ARE TOO GOOD SIR.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Thanks for this excellent and informative explanation of olecranon bursitis. I have developed olecranon bursitis and I've seen a doctor, but I was given a quick pat on the head and sent on my way. The condition was not explained to me and I was not given any treatment instructions. I left the doctor feeling confused and a little afraid. I feel much better after watching and listening to you. Thanks for the video.

Makes it easy to understand - explains clearly and delivers at the right pace to allow the facts to sink in (and of course adds a little humour)

Hi Sam,
Can you believe I just finished watching every single video? 20 years after my first ever anatomy class. Fantastic review. Thank you

Such an intelligent and straightforward tutor.

Thank you very much Sam, I was actually trying to study that, I'm a medical student and I love your videos, you really help us a lot.

Wow ! today recently drained the bursa of the olecranon by myself . No Idea what was until research and found a lot of information . Think I did it right . But the most complete and friendly to understand information is here : in your video . Really Thanks ! Subscribed form more helpful info !

Thank you for another utilitarian lesson. The olecranon subcutaneous bursa is well visualized with ultrasound and amenable to injection. Last year I diagnosed a first episode of gout in a man with elbow pain and swelling after aspirating the superficial bursa and sending the fluid for analysis. I was unaware of the other minor bursa especially the subtendinous bursa

Thanks Sam for these wonderful vids! I just got denied from my med school application and might have to wait next year to try for other schools. For now, Im just enjoying your anatomy vids! Best way to learn anatomy!!

Thank you so much for all that detailed information, that is exactly what I was looking for because I'm trying to find out exactly which bursa is driving me nuts, you are awesome

Three years ago I damaged my right bursa by pressing very hard down on it with my entire strength, on my boat deck. I was trying to get back aboard. I had nearly capsized my new 18 foot racing catamaran in heavy air, and was unable to get back on board from the water. With my last burst of effort, I got nearly up on board from in front of the front crossbar. "Last burst" was grabbing something on the deck and using all energy left to pull myself up aboard. This worked (hurray!), but pushed so hard down on the right bursa that it burst a largish blood vessel and immediately started filling that forearm with blood. Now it is 2 miles back to the beach, so I went "home". All other racers were single-handers, 2 miles the other way, no cel phones anywhere, no power boats. Somebody dropped my carbon fiber mast which broke stuff. My BLOOD FILLED FOREARM got better by itself 3 months later.

Thank you! This was really since I’m operating one myself today (it’s my second operation at all). Really informative
Huutchaaaaa

I'm 7 weeks into an olecranon buritis inflamation issue. Had it drained once and a cortisone injection done. Two weeks later it filled up again with fluid and looks much like a golf ball hanging down from my elbow. Tried resting it, Advil, supplements, ice, rest, still having issues so headed to see a specialist this week. I fell on my left elbow while jogging and that's what started it all. It just doesn't seem to be healing and I'm not sure why. Thanks for the video.

Mr Webster, I am dealing with this now without any pain. I was working very hard on triceps using dumbells. I also swim a lot but think the weight lifting may have caused my problem. Can you comment on the likelihood of what happened pleased? It is slowly getting smaller after a month. I did have the fluid drawn off but it filled back up. Thanks, I learn a lot off of your videos.

Thanks doc that was educational and entertaining

Pretty useful. Now I know how to start the discussion with my doc about yellowish color showing thru at the bursa site.

I broke my elbow 15 years ago, and to this day (and getting worse) I get really painful bursa pain. I think I must have bone spurs. What a time, I am going to have to get it sorted, cos it keeps me awake at night now. Thanks for the info, is nice to learn the inner mechanics somewhat.

With so many women taking aromatase inhibitors and many experiencing resulting joint and tendon issues, there is a need for educational videos on this available on YouTube, for family physicians and patients. Perhaps a colleague (or you?) might consider doing one?
