Bursitis of the Elbow

Anyone ever had this due to guitar playing?
I have a weird knot kind of thing on my right elbow. It feels like a small filled sack which I can move around a bit. It doesn't really hurt that bad. I wonder if it can be related to guitar or if it something completely different.

I don't see how. Must be unrelated.

Hmm, yeah I thought so as well, but was curious if anyone had something like this.
Thank you.

Get it checked out, man. We're not getting younger. I recently had an issue with my right neck / shoulder that seriously negatively impacted me (like some legitimate pain to where I couldn't sleep for two weeks), and it was just too uncomfortable to hold the guitar. Take care of yourself...

Yeah, I can't do rasgueados any more due to arthritis and tendonitis. And half the time I can't stand up straight due to sciatica. Still building guitars though.

Looking for the fountain of youth.
