When i bend it and keep it bent for any lengh of time it is so stiff to straighten out and it hurt so much.. Is it worth going to the doctor or is it age. I am 47 years old
Hi thanks for the query,
The way you had described that your elbow getting stiffer after keeping it bent for long time may be due to some form of wear and tear changes in elbow joint. I would advice you get opinion from local orthopaedic doctor who could examine you, prescribe an x ray and give you mild analgesics and gentle physiotherapy.
I find this answer helpful
