Severe Pain In The Elbow Area, Difficulty Straitening The Arms. Reasons ?
Lots of pain.. Elbows area is pretty severe.. More so left one then the right.. If I fall asleep with elbow bent.. It takes me almost a half hour to get it straight.. Due to some much pain.. Also.. Simple task like washing my car.. Omg.. Is a nightmare.. My arm feels like someone has put it into a vice.. Locked it down and is pulling.. Twisting.. And just tormenting me.. It has put me on the ground due to some much pain.. If I hold my hands up in the air.. I get maybe half a min in.. And have to put them down to the severe pain...

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
According to description, it seems to be inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis of elbows.
I advice you to give you rest to your elbow, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of elbows and rule out any infective cause.You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance to see any arthritic changes.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
