Suggest Remedy For Painful Joints

I am Gupta and my age is 67 years, Male. I had been on vacation from 6th to 11th of thiscmonth. During that period, I was carrying a bag weighing about 6 lbs with hand containing some essentials on tour. From last 2 weeks I am having pain on the elbow joint, out wards bone joint. There is not much inflammation. I am putting icy hot patch from last 5 days and there is some decrease in pain gradually. Shall I continue with this?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have got tennis elbow. It is tendinitis of lateral group of muscles at elbow. It occurs due to overexertion. In your case it occurred due to heavy weight lifting. Treatment of it is rest to joint and analgesic. Don't do much work with effected limb. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are useful as these relieve pain and swelling. Icing is helpful in relieving pain.You can continue with icing. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
