[P1010414] Traumative bursitis
Image by Tom Anderson
Alan fell off his unicycle while trying to bunny-hop up some steps, and banged his elbow. It bled a bit, and swelled up like mad. It was the size of a tennis ball, and squidgy. Apparently, this is an unusual but normal response to banging a joint.
