Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have acute pain in my elbow that began 24 hrs ago. It is now at an 8 on 1to 10 pain scale. I can not move it without pain and there has been no trauma . I have taken three doses of advil in the last 24 hrs with very little relief. Doesn t appear to be any swelling
This could be due to possible arthritis. It could be septic, rheumatoid or due to Gout. I advise you to perform cold soaks over the elbow. Consult with your Orthopaedic surgeon as soon as possible.
