Suggest A Remedy For A Pinched Nerve/vein Near The Elbow
I believe I have a pinched nerve/vein near my elbow. It hurts to bend it and straighten it out and it looks a bit swollen. There aren t any bruising signs however. It doesn t itch and the pain feels like it s more below/inside than outside of my skin. Should I see a doctor? This is day 3 with this pain and it s only gotten a little better. Pain is 4/5 out of 10, 10 being unbearable.

Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your experience with moderate pain at your elbow that is aggravated with flexion and extension I am suggesting you have developed an osteoarthritis
In view of this please do a x-ray of the elbow and see an orthopaedic specialist for expert clinical assessment and adequate drug treatment
Hence please take any of the following pending your appointment Tablet nurofen neurobion arthrotec cymbalta
I hope this helps
Regards and get well soonest
