Unusual Elbow Swelling Anonymous
hey /fit/ I need some help, yo.

WTF is this? My mom walks in with this thing on her elbow and we dont know what it is. She thought it was because she had a dislocated shoulder but its all squishy and disgusting, then she thought it was a bite. I thought it was like a tumor or something, but tumors dont randomly appear out of no where in one day.

so what do you think?

My stepdad had this. It turned out to be a bacterial infection. The doc had to drain it and he was on a spectrum of anti-biotics for a few months.

TL;DR - don't ask 4chan. Ask a doctor.

Also gout affects fingers and toes.

I'm guessing that she tore an ACL in her elbow. It happens when too much pressure is put on an elbow or a knee. One of my friends tore his ACL in his Knee and swelled really big like that but it didn't really hurt at first. So go let a doctor look at it and keep ice on it.

Gout can affect any joint in the body. Normally, first time gout attacks are overwhelmingly target the big toe. They move up from there in many cases.

or it could be because the picture is from a gout website page, and the swelling happens to look exactly like that.

dumbass.
