I also had a problem with bursitis a couple of years ago.  I crashed while
mountain biking on the Slickrock Trail in Moab and tore the bursa sac in my
elbow.  It was literally shredded and the fluid drained down my arm as I
finished the ride-looked pretty bad but wasn't real painful.  I was very
concerned about the impact on paddling and xc skiing when the elbow got very
sore the next day.  For several months I couldn't even lean on it at all.
Luckily it turns out that the bursa sac can repair itself and my elbow is
back to normal- other than a little extra "material" around the bone.
Sometimes time can heal.  Good luck.
