I am 43 years male with vegetarian, diagnosed with olecranon bursitis medication antibiotics within 3 weeks. The Bursa ruptured. I have pressed and removed the water and pus. The swelling reduced and pain is very low. There is tiny part swelling at elbow. Is surgery necessary or it will be cured on medication?
