Elbow (Olecranon) Bursitis

anyone else ever get this?

aggravated one elbow, while taking photos of photos, in an awkward position, leaning on my elbows, just to get the lighting right. in particular, on my right elbow. because I was moving the pics in & out of frame, w/ my left arm

the next day, the right elbow swelled up. a week later a medical professional drained it. I have a compression sleeve on now & trying not to use the arm as much. it filled again but not very much. medical professional says to wear the sleeve for a week & it might go away after a cpl months. ugh, I'm a very active person how to I not use it for two months? I've already been neglecting my fitness training for a cpl months, due to a family emergency & was looking forward to getting going again

the shadow is the soft tissue swelling before the procedure. doesn't look like much, but in-real-life, when my arm was straight, it looked like I had a ping pong ball under my skin

another view that doesn't show the swelling
