Have you read The Metamorphosis, Gregor started off with lumpy elbows.

[QUOTE 3786208, member: 9609"]can I just knock the infection thing on the head - I spent a couple of hours this morning trying to do some welding under a grain trailer, there was not enough height underneath to sit and it was too high to work lying down, I was basically trying to work propping myself up on an elbow, the minor wart/callous thing that has been a little bit of a nuisance this past few months was being a hell of a lot more than just a nuisance (and it didnae help that i welded it on the wrong way round then had to grind it off and start again - a great example of how to turn a 10 minute job into 2 hours of swearing).
The redness which I guess was caused by having most of my weight on it, was all gone within an hour or so,
The thing is on the very pointy bit of the elbow in a position where I can't see it without the use of a mirror and this was the very first time I had bothered to look - I had presumed it was a scab over a graze or something and have been trying to pick it off most evenings, but a closer inspection makes it look like a wart or callous, or maybe one of those things like Labradors get on their elbows.[/QUOTE]
I hope it doesn't leave you feeling too ruff then

If it's a wart, then don't pick it, you should file it down until it's raw. That's after treatment from the pharmacist who'll advise.

Eh? I'm not an expert but a highly experienced orthopaedic specialist in elbows (and shoulders for which I was consulting him) told me it was a bursa that needed no specific attention. Indeed, I only asked him to examine it as he enquired after the health of the same elbow which he operated on in 2012 and 2013

Maybe I meant to type bursa or the phone corrected it, dunno. It hurts. I assume thus there might be some sort of inflammation but it's been looked at and needs no attention unless it gets worse. I can't rest on the end of that elbow but life goes on, I guess. Can't deal with every orthopaedic ailment at the same time, there are too many!

It may be just a corn on your elbow. This will mean a diet of corn elbow pasta

How is your elbow and what did you decide was wrong with it?

You mean we should rub banana skin down below instead of sudocream?
