What Causes Severe Elbow Pain After Taking Nicotine Patch?
I put a 21mg nicotine patch on my upper left arm ,I left it on all day then took it off. 2 days later I started having severe pain where I put the patch can t move my left arm without having bad pain from there to my elbow . I have had a triple bypass back in 2012 and still under heart doctors care and have a partial blockage in one of my bypass arteries,so this really scares me

What Causes Severe Elbow Pain After Taking Nicotine Patch?
Hello, It is due to inflammatory reaction to the patch. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
