It came back a couple of times but never as bad and the same treatment eventually killed it off.

A friend of mine has the same recurring problem in his elbow. Just swells up every few months for no apparent reason. Apparently it's some localised problem with his lymphatic system or something. Exercise (in this case, jumping around a lot - have you a trampoline, johnny?!
) is the prevention and a stab the temporary cure.
*Edit: Haha! Anyone dares pick me up for my blatent contradiction in the last paragraph gets a burp!
