• Do I have synovitis?

My elbow is swollen and it is the arm that I use when I play baseball. Do I have synovitis?

It sounds like you have an inflamed elbow, but that is not a diagnosis. An eval to determine the cause is indicated unless you want to give up baseball.

It’s more likely that you have tendinitis. The elbow is not a common place for Synovitis. Either way, rest and ice is the best treatment. Also, a brace may benefit you.
