Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Elbow

my elbow became slightly swollen and very painful all of a sudden. It s very hard to bend the elbow without pain. I did not sustain any injury and now notice that there are a few red marks on the affected area. It is also slightly warmer to the touch than the other arm.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
For how long you are suffering from it? has it happened before?
You really needs to be examined by the ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON for proper evaluation. You may need to get the X ray of the affected elbow..
There is need to do the rest , elevation , elbow brace and painkillers..
meet orthopedic surgeon.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
