  • Fever
  • Chills or sweats

Causes of Olecranon Bursitis

Elbow bursitis may follow a traumatic accident, such as falling on the back of the elbow, or it may seemingly pop up out of nowhere.5 People who rest their elbows on hard surfaces may aggravate the condition and make the swelling more prominent.

Infected elbow bursitis, also called septic bursitis, may occur after an injury in which the skin behind the elbow is cut or abraded, allowing bacteria to enter. People with systemic inflammatory conditions, such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis, have a higher chance of developing infected elbow bursitis.
