The post-operative exercises I have to do include rotating my arm outwards with a bent elbow (90 degrees). Will this irritate the elbow and prolong the bursitis? I've had the condition for 4 weeks and it shows no sign of going away. So far I don't think there is any infection as the swollen part of the elbow is not inflamed
