Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In Elbow
Hello, I have been playing hockey for over 45 years, I m 49. Recently I took a stick across the inside of my elbow joint. This is the best I can describe it. It has been bothering me now for at least a month. It bothers to straighten and bend my elbow. I am wearing a neoprene sleeve with no results. Any thoughts

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As this looks more of a ligament injury and needs a thorough examination. Also an x-ray will make us understand any bony injury if present.
Undergoing physical therapy like muscle retraining will help regain the elbow movements and pain shall reduce.
In my clinical experience most patients with elbow injuries respond well to physical therapy and exercise
