Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Inside Elbow

Due to my new job (which is fairly physical) I developed severe pain at the inside of my elbow , at the bone. The pain is always there but of course more severe within 30 minutes after I start my job. Currently I take 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours. The pills seam to relieve some of the pain. I do not think it is tennis elbow due to the pain being at the inside of my elbow. In did have an x-ray and the doctor told me there was no sign of arthritis. What can I do to relieve the pain?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that pain on the inner side or medial side of elbow seems to be due to Medial Epicondylitis also know as Golfer's elbow..
It leads to pain on the inner side of elbow that can raise to forearm as well as wrist..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a proper clinical evaluation and examination of patient by making patient to rest his hand on table with palm up and bend the wrist inwards while resistance is applied by doctor..
If there is Golfers elbow pain will be felt on the inside aspect of elbow..
You will be advised to take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
You can apply an analgesic ointment over the elbow all around and put a brace or a crape bandage over it..
You can do cool compresses over it..
In severe cases Steroid injection can be advised..
You can also be advised Physiotherapy under a trained Physiotherapist..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
