Brief Answer:
Can be due to tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the elbow and arm is likely to be related to tendon or capsular inflammation. Most commonly it is caused by a tennis elbow or cubital tunnel syndrome.
She can help the improvement by-
1. Give adequate rest to the arm.
2. Apply cold therapy.
3. Get some anti-inflammatory medication prescribed from her orthopedician.
4. Immobilize the arm for a short period.
It is best to consult an orthopedician for a direct examination and proper treatment after exact diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
